Rhipsalis baccifera subsp. horrida
Rhipsalis baccifera subsp. horrida is an unusual epiphytic cactus with slender, cylindrical green stems covered in fine, bristly hairs. Its branching, trailing habit creates a dense, textured display, making it particularly attractive in hanging pots, on shelves or in elevated indoor displays.
Unlike traditional desert cacti, this Rhipsalis naturally grows in humid forest environments and prefers bright, indirect light with slightly more moisture. Mature plants can produce small, creamy-white flowers along the stems, followed by decorative berry-like fruits.
- Other names: Mouse Tail Cactus, Mistletoe Cactus
- Useful to know: An epiphytic forest cactus that naturally grows on trees in warm, humid conditions
- Feature: Slender, branching stems with distinctive fine, bristly hairs
- Eventual size: Trailing stems can grow to approximately 60-100cm
- Origins: Tropical regions of Africa and the western Indian Ocean
Rhipsalis Care
Light: Bright, indirect or filtered light; avoid strong direct sunlight which can scorch the stems
Water: Water when the top layer of compost begins to dry, keeping the growing medium lightly moist during active growth
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity and is well suited to bathrooms, kitchens and other humid rooms
Temperature: Keep warm, ideally between 18°C and 26°C, and protect from frost and cold draughts
Feeding: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant or cactus fertiliser during spring and summer
Compost: Grow in a free-draining, airy mix suitable for epiphytic cacti, incorporating materials such as orchid bark for additional drainage
