Aporophyllums

Aporophyllums are hybrids between the various species of Aporocactus and other epicacti.  They generally are much more cactus-like than other epiphytic cacti and have long cylindrical or angled stems.  They are generally quite easy to grow and are tolerant of neglect.  They will stand higher light levels than most other epiphytic cacti and can therefore be grown quite happily on shelves quite high up in the greenhouse.
