Even though it does not look like a cactus and does not grow in the desert, the broom cactus is one of the cactus plants. As a succulent he prefers a high humidity, besides, he does not grow in soil but rather on trees.
Select location and soil for the Binzenkaktus
A bright and warm location is well suited for the Binzenkaktus, but he does not like direct sunlight so much. Ideal are temperatures around 20 ° C. If it is warm enough in the summer, then the Binzenkaktus may well stand outside.

If you want to cultivate it in the pot, use cactus soil or a mixture of potting soil, sand and peat. Due to its hanging growth, the Binsenkaktus is well suited for the planting of a flower basket.
The Binsenkaktus pour properly and fertilize
The Binsenkaktus needs as a tropical plant regularly water. Pour it once a week, but not too abundantly. If it is very hot, the Binsenkaktus may need more water. Fertilizers are only available in the growth phase from February to July, preferably every two weeks in the form of cactus fertilizers.
Cut the Binsenkaktus correctly
