Rhipsalis

Rhipsalis is a genus of epiphytic cacti native to Central and South America, known for its slender, often hanging or trailing stems that resemble delicate strands or threads. Unlike typical cacti, Rhipsalis thrives in humid, shaded environments like forests, attaching to trees or rocks. Its unique, soft, and sometimes translucent appearance makes it a popular choice for indoor or outdoor decoration. Rhipsalis produces small, white or pinkish flowers followed by tiny berries. It’s a low-maintenance plant that adds an elegant, exotic touch to any space while requiring indirect light, well-draining soil, and occasional watering.
