Rhipsalis Cereuscula

Rhipsalis cereuscula, commonly known as Coral Cactus or Rice Cactus, is a unique epiphytic cactus originating from the rainforests of South America. Unlike many cacti, Rhipsalis are not desert dwellers. They are typically found growing on trees, with their cascading stems making them perfect for hanging baskets. The stems resemble coral or grains of rice, which gives them their common names. When stressed by sunlight or cold temperatures, they may exhibit a reddish tint on their tips. In the right conditions, they might even produce small, white flowers.
