Rhipsalis Gaertneri

Rhipsalis gaertneri is a fascinating member of the cactus family known for its unique, cascading growth habit. This epiphytic plant thrives in shaded, humid environments and is often found growing on trees or rocks in its native habitat. Its delicate, branching stems are adorned with small, rounded leaves that give it a soft, almost ethereal appearance. Unlike many cacti, Rhipsalis gaertneri does not have spines, making it a popular choice for indoor gardening. Its ability to bloom with fragrant, white flowers adds to its appeal among plant enthusiasts.
