Rhipsalis, or mistletoe cactus, is a unique, trailing succulent with slender, branching stems that make it an ideal choice for hanging planters. Native to rainforests in Central and South America, Africa, and some islands in the Indian Ocean, it thrives in more humid, shady environments than typical cacti. This genus is fascinating for its adaptability, growing as an epiphyte in its natural habitat.

A few house rules...

Rhipsalis prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade. It naturally grows under the canopy of trees, so it’s happy in spots too soft for desert cacti. Avoid super harsh direct sun, which can scorch its stems.

• Water when the top layer of soil has dried out
• Soak thoroughly, then allow excess to drain
• Likes higher humidity than most cacti
• Reduce watering through winter

• Moderate grower indoors
• Trails up to 1.5 metres with age
• Non-toxic and pet safe
• It’s the only cactus found naturally outside the Americas, growing in Africa and Sri Lanka as well as Central and South America

Huge range of plants, rare to common for a good price. (Verified Google Review)

Visited the store a few times and my experiences were top notch. The visuals, ambience, and customer service exceed my expectations. New plants every week and I can't help myself buying a few on my way out every time. (Verified Google Review)

Lovely store that is worth the travel! The plants all look well taken care off and are reasonably priced. The person at the register was lovely and we had a lovely conversation as they rung up our cactus and the string of hearts (Verified Google Review)
