Rhipsalides and mystery cacti

Post by chirpie »

Hi, can anyone help me identify these Rhipsalides and mystery cacti?

I know one of them is dragon fruit, but any guesses on which Rhipsalis the other one is? The tall spikes are maybe 6" tall.

Another Rhipsalis. Long part is about 7".
Image
Mystery cactus #1. Maybe about 3" long.
Image
Mystery cactus #2. About 2" tall.

MC#1 looks like a very etiolated Aporocactus flagelliformis.
MC#2 looks like a much less etiolated version of the same thing.

If I've got the id right, these can cope with quite a lot of sunlight. They are very vigorous and will need quite a bit of watering too if they are growing strongly in warm sun.
