This epiphytic cactus has a habit that is both compact and drooping. We love it for its long, branched, slightly hairy stems. Its bright green coloring with a purplish tip and its small, fragrant white flowers will seduce you. The mistletoe cactus comes from tropical regions, it cannot stand the cold and prefers moderate ambient humidity.
Non-toxic to animals.
