An epiphytic tropical cactus! Indeed, far from semi-desert environments, Rhipsalis have adapted to humid environments to compete with herbaceous plants. They are found clinging to tree bark and sometimes on rocky cliffs. We love it for its long, thick, branched, and drooping stems. In addition, from June to September, pretty small white or pink flowers appear all along the stems.
Non-toxic to animals.
