Rhipsalis cereuscula Coral Cactus Mistletoe Cactus Live Plant 2 Inch Pot

Rhipsalis cereuscula, commonly known as Coral Cactus or Mistletoe Cactus, is a distinctive epiphytic cactus prized for its slender, branching stems that cluster into dense, coral-like tufts. Despite its delicate appearance, this tropical cactus is a resilient and easygoing houseplant that brings unique texture to any indoor plant collection.

Its bright green segmented stems create a soft, cascading form that works beautifully in hanging baskets, on shelves, or as part of a mixed succulent and cactus display. This jungle cactus is a favorite among collectors of unusual houseplants and makes an eye-catching conversation piece in bright indoor spaces.

Planting & Care

When your plant arrives, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light. If repotting, use a well-draining mix that allows air around the roots, such as a cactus or epiphyte blend. Water thoroughly when the top portion of the soil feels dry, then allow excess water to drain away completely. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months.

This tropical cactus appreciates moderate humidity and steady indoor temperatures. Avoid placing it in intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the stems. With consistent light and careful watering, Rhipsalis cereuscula establishes readily and can grow into a full, trailing specimen over time.
