Mistletoe Cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera)
Mistletoe Cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera)
The Mistletoe Cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera) is a unique, pet-safe tropical cactus with cascading, pencil-thin stems that create a lush, trailing display. Native to rainforest canopies, it prefers humidity and dappled light—a rare trait for a cactus! Its airy form is perfect for hanging planters, wall-mounted pots, or tabletop displays where its soft, spillover look can shine. Unlike desert cacti, it doesn’t have sharp spines, making it both safe for pets and gentle to the touch.

Sun Requirements ▾
The Mistletoe Cactus thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates lower-light conditions, making it a versatile plant for many rooms. Avoid harsh, direct sun, which can burn its tender stems. It’s ideal for east- or north-facing windows, or any filtered light setting.
Watering Instructions ▾
Unlike desert cacti, the Mistletoe Cactus enjoys moderate moisture. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in the cooler months. It prefers some humidity and benefits from occasional misting, especially in drier homes.
Care Tips ▾
Use a well-draining soil mix with good aeration—cactus soil blended with orchid bark or perlite works well. This plant thrives in a hanging pot or raised planter where its long stems can trail freely. It's easy to care for, easy to propagate, and adds instant dimension to your space. Keep it in warm, humid conditions for best growth.
