Botanical name:Disocactus x hybridusFamily:Cactaceae (Cactus family)
Red Hybrid Orchid Cactus is a hybrid between
Disocactus phyllanthoides and Disocactus speciosus. It is perhaps the
most commonly grown orchid cactus and seems to survive and flower under
most conditions. The stems are flat to triangular, often quite thick
and succulent. The flowers are large, showy, bright red, more or less
funnel shaped. Flowers are fragrant too. The stigma lobes are white,
never lavender.
