A lot of plants have odd, somewhat misleading names, and this one's no exception. Rhipsalis baccifera is called the Mistletoe Cactus for purely superficial reasons: 1) The cactus's small white fruits look just like those of the classic mistletoe plant (Viscum album). 2) Both plants grow epiphytical in the wild, meaning they grow on trees and other large plants.  That's where the similarities end — though we're all about consensual make outs under any plant, whether or not "mistletoe" is in the name 😚.  The Mistletoe Cactus is actually a low-maintenance jungle cactus — yes, this is a cactus that is native to wet rain forests rather than arid deserts! — that thrives in warm, humid environments. It's great indoors (especially bathrooms!) and loves a patio moment (when seasonally appropriate). The plant's soft, pencil-thin, spineless green stems grow into trailing vines that can reach up to 6 feet long. The Mistletoe Cactus is great in a hanging basket or cascading down from a tall bookshelf or other perch. Care Tips: Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates some shade. Water: Keep soil slightly moist; allow the top inch to dry between waterings. Humidity: Loves humidity but adapts well to average home conditions. Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with furry friends. How It Ships: Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range Medium plant measures between 2" to 5" tall, from the soil line to the top of the foliage; this doesn't include the length of the vines, which spill over the sides and can get up to 6-feet long If purchased with a planter, plant will arrive potted in your planter of choice.
