Description
Rhipsalis Elliptica is a beautiful, easily cared for plant that would be perfect in a handing basket. It’s native to the tropical climates of Brazil. The leaves grow in flat oblong shapes and produce small white flowers from the notches on each leaf. The leaves are pad succulent type leaves that are linked together, making this a very unique plant. The flowers are small and yellow-white in color, flowering all over the plant at once. Unlike its desert cousins, this jungle cactus should not be allowed to dry out completely, and should not be place in direct sunlight. It can grow up to 1-3’ tall. It needs bright shade to full shade to thrive the best with average water.
