Airy, whimsical, and wonderfully low-maintenance, the Mistletoe Cactus is a trailing epiphytic cactus with soft, slender, pencil-like stems that cascade gracefully over the edge of its pot. Native to tropical forests, this non-spiny cactus brings an effortless, modern charm to shelves and hanging planters, making it perfect for adding texture without the usual cactus prickles.
Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis prefers a gentler environment and rewards you with lush, flowing growth in the right light. Occasionally, it may produce tiny white or cream-colored flowers followed by small, berry-like fruits.
