*Rhipsalis pilocarpa* is an epiphytic jungle cactus with slender, cylindrical stems covered in fine white hairs. Unlike desert cacti, it grows in shaded forests where it trails from trees and rocks, adapting beautifully to hanging pots or mounted culture. Under the right conditions it produces fragrant, starry white flowers followed by red berries. While it thrives in higher humidity, it can also be acclimated to typical household conditions, making it a versatile choice for indoor growing.
