Botanical name: Rhipsalis ‘Hurricane’
Also known as: Hurricane Rhipsalis, Spiral Rhipsalis, Mistletoe Cactus

Rhipsalis ‘Hurricane’ is a unique and eye catching epiphytic cactus known for its twisting, spiraling stems that create a wild, storm like appearance. Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis naturally grows in rainforest canopies, making it well suited for indoor environments with softer light and higher humidity. Its curly, cascading growth brings texture, movement, and a sculptural look to shelves and hanging planters.

☀️Light:Bright, indirect to medium light. Avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch or fade stems.

💧Water:Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Prefers lightly moist but never soggy soil.

🌫️Humidity:Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Comfortable in bathrooms, kitchens, or near a humidifier.

📏Size:Trails 1–3 feet long with curly, spiraling stems.

🐾Pet friendly?:✔️ Generally pet safe (non toxic).

🪴Where It Looks Best:Perfect for hanging planters, macrame hangers, or high shelves where spirals can freely cascade.

💡Pro Tip:Use a chunky, airy mix with orchid bark for best root health. Rotate occasionally to keep the spirals growing evenly.
