*Rhipsalis baccifera* is a widespread epiphytic cactus with long, slender cylindrical stems that trail and cascade gracefully. Unlike most cacti, it grows in tropical forests, often hanging from trees where it forms large, draping mats. Mature plants can produce small white flowers followed by translucent white berries, giving rise to the common name “Mistletoe Cactus.” While it prefers humidity, it can also be acclimated to standard household conditions, making it a versatile indoor plant.
