A Desert Beauty With Unforgettable Trailing Stems

Disocactus flagelliformis, commonly known as the Rattail Cactus, is a striking desert cactus prized for its long, rope-like stems that cascade dramatically over the edges of pots and hanging baskets. With its soft spines, thick cylindrical stems, and impressive trailing habit, this cactus brings sculptural desert charm to any bright indoor space.

Despite its exotic appearance, the Rattail Cactus is wonderfully easy to care for. Naturally growing as an epiphyte in rocky cliffside environments, it thrives in well-drained, airy substrates and requires far less water than typical tropical houseplants. Give it bright light, let it dry out between waterings, and it will reward you with vigorous growth and, when happy, spectacular pink tubular blooms reminiscent of a Christmas cactus flower.

100-count large oval paper plates (12"x10") - soak-proof, microwave safe, cut-resistant, disposable
Size: 12 in-100 count, Size: 12 in-100 count
These 12" X 10" disposable paper plates (brand: OuMuaMua) are great to add to our inventory of party tableware supplies.  We have stocked up smaller plates but just not these larger ones.  The size is perfect to make up for what we have not purchased but need. They are fantastic for being soak-proof and microwave-safe. I used one today to marinate some pork chops for 2+ hours just to see how well it performed for soak-proofness.  The saucy marinade was well contained and didn't soak through the plate.  The coating is waterproof as well because after marinating, I used the same plate to hold some tap water.  Not a drip came or seeped through. Though I would consider it quite stiff, it is still made of paper and won't compare well with those disposable hard plastic plates.  As such, I will limit my use of these for lightweight items such as donuts, break, muffins, cupcakes, a few pork chops or steaks, etc.  For heavier and bountiful party goodies, like a big bunch of BBQ wings, hot dogs, etc., I will back it up with a tray when carrying it to the table.  Once properly seated down, this oval paper plate can be trusted to serve on its own. A size comparison is included showing the oval plate and a smaller one from a known brand I bought for everyday use.  They are similar not just in their color schemes , the quality is also very similar, e.g. the level of stiffness, being soak-proof and cut-resistant.  I am very pleased with this product's quality and functionality.  They are absolutely convenient when we host parties or when we prefer not to deal with dishes clean-up. These are definitely valuable time-savers for the price.

Summertime is paper plate season
Size: 12 in-100 count
Summertime in our house means paper plate season! These paper plates are great for everything from meals, to make shift cutting boards to serving trays. They are super durable making it easy to carry multiple around. The value for the price cant be beat, especially since its delivered right to our door.

Poor quality and unusable finish
Size: 12 in-100 count
Very poor plates, fiber coming off the edges. You have to wipe them before you use each one. Never seen that with paper plates ever!!

High quality, soak proof, large plate. Perfect when we are doing a big spread. I have used these for 3 different dinners. Held up to everything! Would highly recommend if you are looking for a platter size plate that looks nice and is safe to use in the microwave.
