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
