Rhipsalis baccifera – Mistletoe Cactus

Rare Trailing Epiphytic Cactus | Soft Cascading Growth | Tropical Indoor Favourite

Rhipsalis baccifera is a trailing cactus with fine, cascading stems that suit indoor shelves and hanging pots. It works well in bright, indirect light and sheltered spaces.

Description

This plant produces long, slender green stems that branch and drape as it grows, creating a soft, flowing appearance. Unlike desert cacti, it has a more delicate look and thrives in more humid, shaded environments.

It is often chosen for indoor styling due to its relaxed growth habit and adaptability to lower light conditions compared to many succulents.
