Rhipsalis Mistletoe Cactus

The Rhipsalis Mistletoe Cactus, also known as the Mistletoe Cactus, is an epiphytic cactus native to Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Florida. It features slender, trailing, branched stems that can reach lengths of up to 30 feet in its natural habitat but typically grow up to 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide as houseplants. The cactus produces solitary, funnel-shaped flowers that are white or greenish-white and appear in late winter to early spring. The fruits are small, spherical berries that resemble mistletoe berries. This cactus thrives in bright, indirect light, high humidity, and slightly acidic, moist, well-drained, gritty potting mix. It is low-maintenance and can be placed outdoors during the summer in partial shade to encourage flowering. The Mistletoe Cactus is also known for its resilience and intriguing growth habit, making it a captivating subject in both horticulture and indoor plant collections.
