• Mouse Tail Cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera ssp. horrida) is a trailing cactus with thin, branching stems in rusty lime green. The rusty tone comes from its fine bristles and young growth, which can turn reddish when exposed to strong sun or dry conditions. The stems hang and spill gracefully, making it well suited for hanging pots. It is native to Madagascar, where it grows on trees or rocks.                                                                                                                                                                 
  This cactus grows steadily and develops long, cascading stems over time. Mature plants can produce small, pale flowers followed by tiny berry-like fruits. It is easy to propagate from stem cuttings, as trimmed sections root readily in well-draining soil.

   Bright Indoor Light, Full Sun.                                                                                                            
  Gritty, well-draining soil is essential. Use a cactus and succulent mix with 70%-80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite.
  
  Water infrequently. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid letting water sit in the rosette to prevent rot.
