How to identify Mistletoe cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera)
Mistletoe cactus appears as an intriguing epiphytic cactus, exhibiting slender, trailing stems that can reach lengths up to 2 feet (60 cm). Its stems are segmented, giving it a beaded look, and they are covered with minute, scale-like structures instead of the thorns typically associated with cacti. Small, white flowers may emerge, later producing berry-like fruits. As a houseplant, it thrives in bright, indirect light, showcasing its lush, jungle-like aesthetic in hanging baskets or as an accent in vertical gardens.
