Red Mistletoe Cactus Family Cactaceae Origin Brazil Description Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa (Red Rhipsalis) is a shrubby, epiphytic cactus, freely branching basally with pendant, flat, reddish tapeworm. It produces lots of greenish-white or pinkish flowers, followed by small, ornamental, shell berries lining both edges of the ribbon stems. Environment Rhipsalis does best with morning sun and full shade in the afternoon.. It does not thrive in direct sunlight. Exposure to afternoon sun can burn the leaves, turn them yellow, or lead to spotting. However, without sufficient sunlight, they will not bloom, and its growth can be stunted. The plant may simply be mounted on a piece of bark like an orchid or potted in a good cactus mix. Landscape Uses Suitable for hanging baskets
