Succulent 'Cereus Coral Green'

Succulent 'Cereus Coral Green'

Botanical Name: Rhipsalis cereuscula

Common Names: Coral Cactus

Description: The Rhipsalis cereuscula, also known as the Rice Cactus, is a truly one-of-a-kind plant that brings a wild, whimsical touch to any space! 

This epiphytic cactus is native to tropical rainforests, where it grows on trees instead of in soil, soaking up moisture from the air like a pro. Its bright green, pencil-thin stems form dense, trailing clusters that look just like tiny grains of rice—giving it an irresistibly quirky charm.

Despite its exotic origins, this succulent is incredibly low-maintenance and perfect for beginners. It thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to lower light conditions, making it a versatile houseplant. Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis prefers a little more humidity and regular watering—just be sure the soil dries out between waterings. Given time, it may even surprise you with delicate, white flowers that add to its ethereal beauty.

Whether displayed in a hanging planter or allowed to spill over the edge of a shelf, Rhipsalis cereuscula brings a lush, jungle-like vibe to any home. Its trailing, coral-like growth makes it a standout in any plant collection, proving that even the smallest stems can make a big impact!
