The Rhipsalis pilocarpa is a charming and distinctive epiphytic cactus with soft, cylindrical stems covered in fine, bristly hairs. Native to the tropical forests of Brazil, its cascading growth habit makes it an ideal choice for hanging planters or high shelves. With time and care, this plant may even reward you with delicate, fragrant white to pale pink blooms that add a subtle touch of elegance to its already unique form.

This Rhipsalis thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys consistent moisture with good drainage—quite different from its desert-dwelling cactus cousins. Let the top 50% of soil dry out between waterings, and maintain moderate humidity for optimal growth.
