Species of Pseudorhipsalis


Red mistletoe cactus
Red mistletoe cactus (Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa) will be happiest in your home if you grow it in a hanging basket or on a shelf where its branches can hang, as it lives in trees in its natural tropical environment. Red mistletoe cactus got its name from the way the stems will turn red, if given enough light, and its small, mistletoe-like fruits.

Red mistletoe cactus 'Red Coral'
The red mistletoe cactus 'Red Coral' cultivar of mistletoe cactus is differentiated by its stunning coloration, especially so when exposed to large amounts of light which allows the plant to turn a deep violet red. When it blooms, the white flowers are beautifully set off against the deeply colored leaves. Beautiful in a hanging basket, gardeners enjoy it as a decorative plant.
