A uniquely-formed forest cactus from the tropical Americas. Its rich glossy tubular stems are distinctly seaweed-like in form, and create tactile mounds that you might be tempted to cuddle (depending on how infatuated you are with your plants).

Perfect for indoor growing, in ideal conditions this plant will grow quickly and tumble joyfully and frothily from a shelf or hanging basket.

This cactus is not from the desert! Growing snugly clasped to tree branches high in the forest canopy, this cactus will appreciate more dappled light conditions and will thrive close to a bright window.

Care tips

Do allow the substrate to drain very thoroughly between waterings: their elevated position in nature means that they are watered often and thoroughly by rainfall…however, their roots will also drain very fast between each drenching.
