The Coral Cactus (Rhipsalis cereuscula) is a distinctive epiphytic cactus native to South America’s tropical rainforests. Unlike typical desert cacti, it thrives in humid environments and features slender, branching stems that form dense, coral-like clusters. In optimal conditions, it produces small, white flowers, adding to its ornamental appeal.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its delicate stems. It’s adaptable to lower light conditions but may exhibit slower growth.
Water: Maintain lightly moist soil, allowing the top layer to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is well-draining. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows.
Soil: Utilize a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Incorporating organic matter can mimic its natural epiphytic habitat, promoting healthy growth.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60–80°F (15–27°C). Protect it from temperatures below 50°F (10°C), as it is sensitive to cold.
Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity levels compared to typical cacti. Regular misting or placing the plant in a humid environment can be beneficial.
Pet Safety: Generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe addition to households with animals.
The Coral Cactus is an excellent choice for those seeking a unique, low-maintenance plant that brings a touch of the tropics indoors. Its cascading stems make it ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters, adding visual interest to any space.

I unalived a Hoya Compacta years ago and had wanted another one. This lil babe is happy, healthy and thriving. Another beauty from B&B!
My friend and I had a great time! I feel the price we paid was fair based on all the work and time put into organizing it. The prizes were perfect!
I'd never heard of this plant, but he was so cute I had to have him. He loves his little macrame hanger near the grow light and vaporizer. So sweet!

He's another special, happy and healthy plant baby from Blossom and Branch! I love this adorable shop: they have lovely, healthy plants and unusual varieties, the owner and staff are super nice and knowledgeable, and the prices are very t reasonable. Can't wait until my next visit.
Shyla and the Blossom and Branch crew have been the best for all of my plant needs, wants and obsession creation. I have learned so much and found that I CAN take care of plants. The classes are not only informative but very fun! Not only have I brought plants into my home, when it came time for incorporating plants in our office renovation Shyla helped me know which would be best in the spaces. Highly recommend B&B for all plant needs!
