Rhipsalis Cassutha

Rhipsalis Cassutha, commonly known as the Mistletoe Cactus, is an intriguing succulent native to the tropical forests of South America. Unlike typical cacti, Rhipsalis Cassutha features long, thin, trailing stems that resemble strands of mistletoe. These green, segmented stems create a delicate, cascading appearance.

Rhipsalis Cassutha thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining soil mix. It is a low-maintenance plant that enjoys a humid environment. While it can tolerate occasional neglect and infrequent watering, it will thrive with consistent moisture. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

Adding Rhipsalis Cassutha to your collection introduces a touch of exotic charm and a unique aesthetic, making it a perfect choice for enhancing indoor spaces or mixed plant displays.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS
Insert the cutting into the soil 0.5" to 1" deep. Water the plant sparingly when the soil is dry. Roots should form within two weeks. Keep the plant in bright, indirect light during the rooting period. To avoid leaf burn, gradually acclimate the plant to outdoor conditions or full sun.
