Rhipsalis baccifera, also known as the Mistletoe Cactus, is a rare and graceful epiphytic cactus native to tropical rainforests. Unlike desert cacti, this species thrives in humidity and shade, with long, cascading stems that create a lush, soft-textured display. Its thin, cylindrical green stems grow in a trailing or weeping habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters.

In the right conditions, it produces small white flowers followed by translucent white berries, adding seasonal interest and charm.

Key Features:

Trailing epiphytic cactus with soft, green stems

Care Tips:
Prefers bright, indirect light and protection from direct sun. Use a well-draining, peat-based or orchid-style mix. Water regularly during the growing season, but let the top layer of soil dry between waterings. Loves humidity—mist occasionally or keep near a humidifier.

The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
