Rhipsalis erythrocarpa ‘Red Coral’ is a beautiful tropical epiphytic cactus native to South America, valued for its soft, trailing growth and elegant cascading stems. Unlike desert cacti, it naturally grows in rainforest canopies, making it ideal for shaded, humid environments.

This variety forms long, slender green stems that drape gracefully from hanging baskets, creating a lush, flowing effect. With proper care, it produces small decorative flowers followed by striking red fruit, adding seasonal colour and interest to indoor and sheltered outdoor spaces.
