Introducing the Dancing Bones cactus, which is known as Hatiora salicornioides (formerly known as Rhipsalis salicornioides)! 

The Dancing Bones cactus is named for its thin, segmented, flexible stems that resemble bones and give it a "dancing" appearance when it moves in the breeze. This desert cactus is also known as the Drunkard's Dream cactus, spice cactus, and bottle cactus. 


This Hatiora salicornioides is like no other, with its bushy, deep green appearance and cylindrical stems that seem to sway to their own melodious beat.

This shrubby cactus plant can grow up to an impressive height of 3 feet along the tree trunk.

The segmented stems of younger plants have an enchanting shape that resembles either a club or even a whimsical bottle, hence the common name.

The Hatiora salicornioides have flowers with bell-like shapes hanging delicately at the ends of the stems. These small yellow-orange flowers that bloom from late winter to early spring add a touch of vibrant color to this already captivating dancer on our cactus stage.  

To propagate Hatiora salicornioides dancing bones, you can use stem cuttings, which involve cutting a healthy stem below a joint or segment. With Hatiora salicornioides care and patience, the cutting should develop roots and start new growth.  

Additionally, the dancing bones plant is a friendly cactus for both pets and humans. So, you don't have to worry about any harmful effects if you come into contact with dancing bone cactus. It's always a good idea to handle plants with care and wash your hands after touching them, just to be safe. 

Watering Needs 

The Hatiora salicornioides is a drought-tolerant cactus that requires moderate watering. It is best to let the soil completely dry out between waterings.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, when you water your dancing bones desert cacti make sure to give them a good soak but be sure to let the excess water drain away. Overwatering can be harmful to this cactus, so it's important to be careful not to give it too much water. 

In the fall and winter, when your dancing bones are dormant, it's important not to overwater them. Keep an eye on the weather and adjust your watering schedule accordingly, making sure not to leave the cactus sitting in soggy soil.

If you're not sure when to water your dancing bones cactus, you can use a moisture meter to check the soil. This will help you determine when it's time to water the dancing bones cactus. 

Pay attention to signs of overwatering, such as yellowing or mushy stems, and adjust accordingly. It's always better to err on the side of underwatering and gradually increase watering if needed. 

Light Requirements 

The Hatiora salicornioides prefer bright indirect sunlight. When growing your dancing bones cactus indoors, it's best to place it near a window that receives bright, filtered light. If you notice the stems stretching or becoming pale, it may be an indication that it needs more light. Consider supplementing with artificial grow lights to provide the ideal light conditions. 

For outdoor cultivation, the Hatiora salicornioides prefers partial sun to filtered sunlight. It can tolerate some morning or evening sun, but direct afternoon sunlight can be too intense. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight for a prolonged period, as it can scorch the delicate stems.

If you live in a region with hot summers, providing some shade during the hottest parts of the day can help protect the cactus from sunburn. If the dancing bones cactus doesn't receive enough light, its stems may grow leggy, and yellow to orange flowers will become paler, so make your cactus happy and give it plenty of light. 

Remember, finding the right balance of light is crucial for the health of your dancing bones cactus Hatiora salicornioides. Observe how it responds to the light conditions and make adjustments accordingly. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Hatiora salicornioides prefers well-draining, slightly acidic potting soil. A good mix for these dancing bones Hatiora is one part peat moss, one part perlite, and one-part coarse sand. This will provide your dancing bone cactus with the right amount of drainage and acidity. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized cactus potting soil that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your dancing bone cactus to thrive. 

As for fertilizer, the dancing bones cactus don't require much. It's best to avoid fertilizing it during the winter months to prevent mold growth. If you do decide to fertilize it, use a balanced natural fertilizer with an equal mix of NPK (5-10-5). Fertilize the dancing bone once a year during the growing season, which is typically in the spring. 

Remember, it's important not to over-fertilize, as this can cause harm to the cactus. Keep an eye on your Hatiora salicornioides for any signs of nutrient deficiency, such as pale or yellowing stems. If you notice these signs, you can consider using a specialized cactus fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content to promote healthy growth. Always follow the instructions and adjust the frequency of fertilization based on the needs of your Dancing Bones cactus. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

Native to eastern Brazil, this ornamental plant Hatiora salicornioides is not frost-tolerant. If you live in an area with cold winters, it's best to keep the dancing bones cactus indoors during the winter months.  

The dancing bones cactus prefers temperatures between 60 and 80 F. If you live in a region with a mild climate, such as USDA zones 10-11, then you can consider placing it outdoors during the warmer months. It can tolerate higher temperatures, but it's important to avoid exposing your dancing bones to temperatures below 50 F. Just make sure to acclimate it gradually to outdoor conditions to avoid shock. 

As for humidity, the dancing bone cactus prefers moderate humidity levels. It can handle some dryness, but it's best to avoid your cactus family exposing it to extremely dry conditions. If you live in an area with low humidity, you can place a tray of water near your cactus to help increase the humidity levels.

Remember, providing a stable temperature range and moderate humidity levels will help your Hatiora salicornioides thrive, whether it's indoors or outdoors. 

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Hatiora salicornioides (Dancing Bones cactus) is a fascinating cactus native to Brazil with thin, jointed stems resembling coral or seaweed. It prefers bright, indirect light indoors and thrives in a temperature range of 60°F to 75°F. Proper, well-drained cactus soil and drainage are crucial for your dancing bone cactus. The watering is slightly moist but not overly saturated, with the top inch drying out between waterings. Fertilizing is essential for growth and health, with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a year during the growing season. However, be cautious not to over-fertilize, as this can lead to nutrient burn or other issues.

Easy to apply. Excellent quality and value. 5 Stars
Size: 7.9"
Super easy to install. I don't know why I needed a 4 pack, except I have had other screen protectors in the past that I had debris trapped and had to reapply a couple times. (Remember to turn off fans and make sure the "air" is "still" when applying. If you live in a dusty house, go in the bathroom and turn on the shower for a min and turn up the humidity just a little, and make sure door is closed with no fan running) Use the prep pads, few easy steps = cakewalk. 1-2-3 bada bing. Easy peezy lemon squeezy !

The **daydayup Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch OLED Model 2021** is an excellent accessory for anyone looking to protect their console’s screen without compromising on clarity or responsiveness. This **4-pack** offers great value, ensuring you always have a backup or can share with friends or family. The **tempered glass** construction provides robust protection against scratches, drops, and everyday wear, making it a must-have for anyone who takes their Switch on the go. One of the standout features of this product is the **alignment frame** included in the package. This makes installation a breeze, ensuring the protector goes on straight and without air bubbles or misalignment. It’s especially helpful for those who might be new to applying screen protectors, as it reduces the risk of errors during the application process. The **HD clear transparency** is another highlight. Once applied, the protector is barely noticeable, allowing for vibrant, crisp visuals while playing. The touchscreen functionality remains as responsive as ever, with no noticeable lag or diminished sensitivity, which is a big plus when playing fast-paced games. The **edge-to-edge coverage** fits the OLED model perfectly, offering full-screen protection without leaving any vulnerable spots.

It’s also worth noting that the protectors are designed to be **fingerprint-resistant**, keeping your screen looking clean and smudge-free even after extended play sessions. The only downside might be that, while the screen protector is thin and high-quality, it doesn’t include full coverage for the Joy-Con area, as it focuses purely on the console’s display. This isn't a dealbreaker, but it’s something to consider if you're looking for all-around protection. Overall, the **daydayup Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch OLED Model 2021** is a fantastic and affordable choice for anyone wanting to safeguard their console’s screen without sacrificing the quality of the display or the tactile experience.

Very Good For The Price
Size: 6.2", Size: 6.2"
This came in today and it was very easy to put on the switch. It does have bubbles but they will disappear after a little while. I just got this switch used the other day and it did not have a screen protector. The screen had a few minor scratches, but the screen protector makes those scratches seem like they never even existed. The reactivity on the screen is very good. It is practically the same as it would be without the screen protector.
