About This Plant
About This Plant
Botanical name: Rhipsalis paradoxa
Also known as: Chain Cactus, Paradox Rhipsalis, Jungle Cactus
Rhipsalis paradoxa is a unique epiphytic cactus prized for its cascading chains of flat, segmented stems that drape gracefully from hanging planters. Unlike desert cacti, this jungle cactus thrives in bright, indirect light and slightly higher humidity. Its sculptural, trailing form makes it a standout statement plant for shelves, hanging baskets, and modern interiors.
Plant Care Guide
Plant Care Guide
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light preferred. Tolerates medium light. Avoid harsh direct sun.
💧 Water: Water when the top half of the soil has dried. Do not let sit in soggy soil.
🌫️ Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but adapts well indoors.
📏 Size: Trails 2–6+ feet over time.
🐾 Pet friendly?: ✔️ Pet friendly (non toxic).
🪴 Where It Looks Best: Hanging baskets, high shelves, and spaces where its chain-like growth can cascade freely.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a well-draining epiphytic mix. Occasional misting helps mimic its rainforest habitat.
