Rhipsalis, commonly known as Mistletoe Cactus, is a diverse group of epiphytic cacti prized for their unique, trailing growth habit and delicate, cylindrical stems. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, Rhipsalis varieties vary in size, shape, and texture, offering an array of options for hanging baskets, indoor displays, or as cascading features in gardens. Some varieties produce small, creamy-white flowers followed by colourful, ornamental berries, adding extra charm.
Thriving in bright, indirect light, these low-maintenance plants prefer well-drained soil and regular watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Rhipsalis is a versatile choice for creating lush, cascading greenery in both modern and naturalistic settings, making it an ideal addition to any plant collection.
