Rhipsalis teres f. prismatica 130mm Nursery Pot

Product Description

Looking for something a little different? The Mistletoe Cactus might just be your new favourite plant.

Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis teres f. prismatica is an epiphytic cactus that naturally grows amongst tree branches in tropical forests. Its slender, branching stems create a soft, cascading shape that looks incredible spilling from shelves, hanging planters and elevated plant stands.

This variety of Rhipsalis teres f. prismatica offers an especially sculptural form, with fine textured growth that becomes increasingly impressive as the plant matures. Easy-going, unique and a little bit quirky, it's a fantastic choice for collectors and anyone wanting something beyond the usual indoor plant line-up.
