The Mistletoe Cactus is a one-of-a-kind tropical cactus prized for its soft, cascading stems and gentle, sculptural form. Unlike its desert-dwelling cousins, this rainforest native thrives in humidity and dappled light—creating a lush, trailing display that feels effortlessly refined and serene.

Its pencil-thin, branching stems spill beautifully from hanging planters, wall-mounted pots, or tabletop containers, adding natural texture and movement to any space.

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.
