rhipsalis baccifera (mistletoe cactus)

a little about me...

the rhipsalis is the only cactus species to be found naturally occuring outside of the americas!  she can be found in central and south america, florida, the caribbean, africa, and sri lanka!

s u n

this is a tropical cactus, which means it doesn't need as much light as a desert cactus.  bright, indirect light is best.  an hour or two of direct light is fine, but anymore and her leaves will burn.

w a t e r

water when the top 2 inches of soil have dried out during the warmer months.  in the winter, cut back to watering only when the soil dries out.  they also love humidity, so a pebble tray would be a welcome addition.

she's non toxic!
