Rhipsalis Floccosa

Rhipsalis floccosa – Woolly Rhipsalis | Epiphytic Elegance with a Touch of Red

Bring a touch of the tropics to your space with Rhipsalis floccosa, commonly known as Woolly Rhipsalis or Red Mistletoe Cactus. Native to the humid forests of Central and South America, this epiphytic cactus stands out for its delicate, cascading stems and soft, woolly texture.

Unlike traditional desert cacti, Rhipsalis floccosa thrives in warm, shady environments and makes an ideal choice for hanging baskets, vertical gardens, or shaded patios. Its slender, branching stems blush with subtle red tones in bright light and may reward you with tiny white or pale green flowers, followed by decorative berries.

Key Features:
