Mistletoe Cactus - Rhipsalis baccifera (12 cm pot)
Rhipsalis baccifera is a tropical plant from the cactus family, but unlike most other cacti, it doesn’t originate from arid regions. On the contrary, Rhipsalis prefer humid, mild environments and lower light conditions. They require similar care to epiphytic plants (e.g. Orchids, Bromeliads, Ferns), as in their natural habitat, they grow on large tree trunks, where their long trailing stems can reach up to 10m in length! Outside the tropical forests where they originate, they’re unlikely to reach such a size… The green stems, made up of numerous branches, will grow much less, yet their appearance will be just as lush and original, making this plant a splendid interior decor piece, perfect for hanging pots or for placing on shelves, tall furniture, or vertical gardens, enjoying the incredible effect of the trailing stems. It’s also a very hardy plant that doesn’t require much care and tolerates various environments, although it prefers spaces with plenty of filtered/diffused light, mild temperatures, and some humidity. Don’t place it near heating or air cooling systems!
Scientific name: Rhipsalis baccifera
Common names: Mistletoe Cactus, Spaghetti Cactus
Family: Cactaceae
Origin: Africa and the Americas
Climate: Equatorial, Subtropical, Tropical
Category: Indoor plant (or outdoor, if protected from heat/cold)
Approximate height: 25-30cm
Pot diameter: 12cm
CUIDADOS
Light: Indirect sun or partial shade (direct sun only in the early morning hours)
Temperature: Likes mild temperatures, between 15-27ºC and some humidity. During spring-summer you can place it outdoors in a shaded area (no direct sun in the hotter months, especially in the afternoon!). It should always be protected from wind and extreme cold/heat. That’s why, in our climate, it’s better kept indoors.
Watering: Moderate – let the soil dry out between waterings to avoid waterlogging. In winter, it’s important to reduce watering frequency (valid for this and other plants!)
Soil: Should be grown in substrates rich in organic matter, preferably suitable for epiphytic plants (plants that grow on trees, other plants, or even rocks/stones).
Fertilisation: Once a month during spring-summer, with a fertiliser suitable for cacti and succulents.
Pruning: Light – just to maintain shape and remove dry or damaged branches.
Pet Friendly: Considered a safe plant for pets. However, even though they aren’t toxic, we recommend monitoring your pets’ interest in the plants to avoid excessive consumption which could be harmful.
Fun fact: The genus Rhipsalis belongs to the cactus family and includes about 35 different species. Rhipsalis baccifera is one of them and adapts especially well to home conditions as an indoor plant.
