Rhipsalis baccifera subsp. shaferi
Rhipsalis baccifera subsp. shaferi is a subspecies of the epiphytic cactus Rhipsalis baccifera, commonly known as the Mistletoe Cactus. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions, where it grows on trees or rocks in humid forests. This cactus is notable for its cascading stems and small, white to yellowish flowers.
Key Characteristics:
- Growth Form: Features long, trailing, or pendulous stems with a segmented, cylindrical appearance, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a living curtain in elevated planters
- Flowers: Produces small, delicate, creamy-white flowers, often followed by small, translucent berries that add year-round interest
- Habitat: Found in tropical forests, it thrives in shaded to partially shaded areas with high humidity
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause stress or burns
- Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, letting the top layer of soil dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in the cooler months
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 26°C (64°F to 79°F). Protect it from frost and cold drafts
- Humidity: Loves high humidity, so consider misting the plant or placing it near a humidifier, especially in dry environments
