4" Rhipsalis baccifera hanging basket

Rhipsalis baccifera (commonly referred to as the 'Mistletoe Cactus') is a graceful epiphytic cactus with long, slender stems that gently arch and trail, creating a soft, cascading effect. Native to tropical rainforests, this species prefers bright, filtered light and consistent moisture, making it a perfect choice for well-lit interiors or hanging planters. Its segmented, pencil-thin stems grow quickly and can form an impressive curtain of greenery with minimal care.

This low-maintenance plant adds a touch of wild elegance to any space, especially when allowed to drape freely from a high shelf or basket. While it doesn’t demand much attention, Rhipsalis baccifera occasionally surprises with small, creamy blooms followed by tiny ornamental fruits. It’s an ideal pick for those seeking an easygoing, pet-safe plant.

Rhipsalis baccifera care:

This tropical cactus prefers a well draining soil that is rich in organic content.  Allow the soil to dry out about halfway before watering.  Provide your Rhipsalis baccifera with plenty of bright indirect light.
