Mistletoe Cactus

The Mistletoe Cactus is an epiphytic cactus that thrives in dappled or indirect sunlight, well-draining soil, and slightly more frequent watering than typical desert cacti. Its trailing, pencil-like foliage can be seen in its natural, tropical habitat, and this plant prefers moderate levels of humidity.

Unlike desert cacti, the mistletoe cactus is sensitive to strong direct sunlight and prefers a location that receives bright to medium indirect light. It can even do well in lower light locations, although you won’t see as much growth.
