Highlights
Rhipsalis paradoxa - The Chain Cactus with Sculptural Elegance: Bring a touch of the rainforest into your home with Rhipsalis paradoxa, a rare and captivating epiphytic cactus known for its long, segmented, chain‑like stems. Native to the lush canopies of Brazil, this plant grows in graceful, cascading strands that create a living, geometric sculpture. Perfect for hanging planters, high shelves, or modern minimalist interiors. This plant is fully rooted in a 2" pot.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
