Rhipsalis grandiflora is a dramatic epiphytic cactus perfect for large hanging baskets or cascading displays. It features long, thin, branching stems that hang in full pendant cascades, creating an eye-catching, trailing effect.
The stems are adorned with small hair-like spines that appear spiny but are soft to the touch, adding texture without any prickliness. This species can grow exceptionally long—easily over 6 feet—making it a striking focal point for patios, verandas, or indoor spaces with high ceilings.
Native to tropical forests of South America, Rhipsalis grandiflora thrives in shaded, humid conditions and is low-maintenance, making it ideal for both indoor and protected outdoor environments.
