RE: chicken foot cacti

Here i got some information for you.

Its Blooming Time: In late winter through early spring, the plant is adorned with small yellow flowers.
Culture: need partial shade to bright indirect lighting with a light well-drained soil mix. we use a soil mix consisting of 2 parts peat moss to 2 parts pine bark to 1 part sand or perlite. During the growing season, the plants are watered freely and fertilized on a weekly basis.
In late fall, night temperatures should drop to 50-55° F to aid in flower initiation. During this time, water should be somewhat restricted, but the mix should never be allowed to completely dry out. When flower buds have formed, you should resume the water and fertilizer regime.
