Rhipsalis Bolivianum

Rhipsalis bolivianum – Cascading Jungle Cactus for Bright Indoor Spaces
Trailing Elegance. Easy Care. Year-Round Texture.

Transform your space with the flowing beauty of Rhipsalis bolivianum—a unique, epiphytic cactus known for its lush, trailing stems and effortless grace. Also referred to as Lepismium boliviana, this rainforest native thrives in bright, indirect light and brings soft movement and texture to any indoor setting.

With its long, arching stems and delicate springtime blooms, Rhipsalis bolivianum is a natural fit for hanging baskets, tall planters, or high shelves where its cascading form can shine. Unlike desert cacti, this tropical variety prefers filtered light and a bit more humidity, making it a standout choice for bathrooms, bright kitchens, or jungle-inspired interiors.

Delicate Seasonal Blooms
In spring and summer, small creamy-white flowers appear along the stems, offering a subtle floral accent to its vivid green segments.
