Rhipsalis Baccifera or Mistletoe Cactus are a variety of jungle cactus, which means they love humidity and shadier settings. They are relatively slow growing, but very resilient and easy to maintain, making them a great starter plant. They can even flower given the right conditions!

PLANT NERD TIPS: Jungle Cacti are some of our favorites to care for because of how cool they look and how easy they are! They are succulent (they store water in their stem) so if your rhipsalis is shriveling and dry, give it more water. Conversely, if it’s mushy, let the soil dry out before giving it more water, and water less frequently.
