Rhipsalis Lepismium Cruciforme Spiralis

Rhipsalis lepismium ‘Spiralis’ – The Spiraled Mistletoe Cactus

Elevate your plant collection with the graceful twist of the Spiraled Mistletoe Cactus (Rhipsalis lepismium cruciforme ‘Spiralis’)—an enchanting epiphytic cactus known for its sculptural, spiraling stems and soft, spineless form. Native to the forest canopies of South America, this unique beauty brings a touch of the wild indoors with its mesmerizing structure and effortless elegance.

🌿 Why You’ll Love It:

Mesmerizing Spiral Growth
Unlike traditional upright or spiny cacti, this Rhipsalis variety stuns with gently twisting, ribbon-like stems that add dynamic movement and visual intrigue.

Soft & Spineless
Its smooth, flexible stems offer a tactile charm that’s gentle and inviting—no thorns, no fuss.

Subtle Blooms
Occasionally produces dainty white or cream flowers, adding a delicate touch to its already fascinating form.

Perfect for Hanging Displays
The cascading stems are ideal for hanging baskets, allowing the natural spiral to shine while mimicking its native habitat beneath tree canopies.

Low-Maintenance Elegance
Thrives with minimal care—ideal for plant lovers seeking something unique yet easy to grow.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Enjoys bright, filtered or dappled light—morning sun is fine, but protect from strong afternoon rays.

• Water: Water moderately, allowing the top layer of soil to dry out. Reduce watering in cooler months.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix—an epiphytic blend or cactus soil with added perlite works well.

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity; mist occasionally in dry environments.

Why It Stands Out:

• Ideal for modern, sculptural plant decor

• Great for hanging baskets, macramé displays, or airy corners

• Perfect for collectors of rare or unusual epiphytic species

• An excellent gift for cactus lovers looking for something spineless and eye-catching
