Rhipsalis Baccifera

Rhipsalis baccifera, commonly known as the mistletoe cactus, is a unique, epiphytic cactus native to tropical regions of Central and South America, Africa, and parts of Asia. Unlike typical cacti, it has slender, trailing, green stems without spines and thrives in humid, shaded environments. It produces small white flowers followed by translucent, berry-like fruits. Often grown as a hanging plant, Rhipsalis baccifera is popular for its low maintenance and air-purifying qualities, making it a great choice for indoor gardening.
