Rhipsalis pilocarpus, commonly known as the "Hairy-fruited Wickerware Cactus" or "Jungle Cactus," is a distinctive species of epiphytic cactus native to the rainforests of Brazil.
Growth Habit: Rhipsalis pilocarpus is characterized by its long, slender, and segmented stems that can grow quite long, often draping elegantly over the edges of containers or hanging baskets.
Leaf Characteristics: This species does not have true leaves but features cylindrical, green to pale green stems that perform photosynthesis.
Indoor Planting: Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves where its cascading stems can be displayed to full effect.
Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care, making it ideal for those new to houseplants or with busy lifestyles.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light levels, making it suitable for positions away from sunny windows.
Soil: Use an orchid mix or a well-draining potting soil mixed with perlite or pumice to enhance drainage.
