This epiphytic cactus has both a compact and trailing habit. We love it for its long, branched, slightly hairy stems. Its vibrant green color with purplish tips and small, fragrant white flowers will surely charm you. The Mistletoe Cactus comes from tropical regions; it cannot tolerate cold and prefers moderate ambient humidity.
