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