Cereus Green Coral Cactus

Botanical Name: Rhipsalis cereuscula
Common Name(s): Coral Cactus, Mistletoe Cactus, Rice Cactus

The Coral Cactus is a delicate and distinctive epiphytic succulent native to the rainforests of Brazil. Its whimsical, branching stems resemble soft coral or strands of rice, creating a cloud-like, cascading form that brings a touch of the tropical forest to your home. Unlike typical desert cacti, this species evolved in shaded, humid environments, giving it a soft, almost ethereal appearance and making it a standout among succulents.

This plant grows as a softly trailing or mound-forming succulent, typically reaching 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) in length when mature. It is ideal for hanging baskets, wall-mounted planters, or elevated pots where its stems can drape down beautifully. On occasion, it produces small, white, star-shaped flowers along the tips of its stems, adding a charming and subtle detail to its already eye-catching form.

To keep this Cereus Green Coral Cactus thriving, give it bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight may scorch its delicate stems, while too little light can cause leggy growth. It thrives in a warm, slightly humid environment and prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, allowing any excess to drain completely. As with many epiphytic plants, it’s more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering. High humidity is appreciated but not essential, making it a flexible houseplant for most indoor conditions.

This unique succulent is low-maintenance and makes an excellent choice for beginner and experienced plant lovers alike. Its unusual, coral-like appearance adds texture and movement to any indoor plant collection, and its forgiving nature makes it easy to care for.

Note: This Coral Cactus is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe option for households with curious cats, dogs, or children. However, it's always best to avoid ingestion and discourage handling if sensitive to cactus plant textures.
