Mistletoe Cactus (Rhipsalis Campos-Portoana) Collection #35

Another epiphytic cactus with a mess of fine multi-branched stems that are lime green at the tips and darker at the base. Native to Eastern and South-Eastern Brazil, it looks great cascading over the edge of a shelf or a bench.

It originates from the jungles of South America where it grew mainly on trees. In the right location it will produce cute little flowers in spring followed by berries in summer. Its best physical feature by far though is its cascading green foliage.
