Hanging Rhipsalis baccifera – Mistletoe Cactus

 🌿🌙

The Rhipsalis baccifera, also known as the Mistletoe Cactus, is a unique hanging plant with long, trailing, pencil-thin stems that create a cascading, jungle-like effect. Unlike most cacti, it has a softer, almost succulent appearance and thrives in indirect light, making it a fantastic choice for modern indoor displays.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive trailing stems perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves

✔ A cactus that prefers shade – unusual and easy-care

✔ Produces tiny white flowers followed by small, berry-like fruits

✔ Fast-growing in the right conditions

✔ Adds a wild, natural look to interiors

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – tolerates partial shade

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry between watering

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity – mist occasionally

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent mix with added organic matter

• Feeding: Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a diluted cactus fertiliser

• Temperature: Keep between 18–26°C, protect from frost

• Growth: Trails can reach 1m or more over time

🌿 Tip: Ideal for creating a lush, cascading effect in hanging planters – pair with other trailing species for a layered jungle look.
