Happy house plants new favourite, we've not seen red coral this big before and the colours are incredible, this hanging pant is so striking and impressive. Whilst Rhipsalis looks and feels like a cactus it is actually from the rain forset so if you can imagine this plant growing in a humid jungle away from direct sun you will give ot the care it needs.
We love this plant for its easy care nature and unusual almost alien-like appearance providing interesting structure and shape. It works well as a potted plant or as a hanging plant.
In the wild its native to Brazil, where it lives in tropical subtropical or tropical forests, hanging or hanging on branches or growing in the hollow of old trees. The main threat to the species is deforestation.
In its native habitat, Rhipsalis red coral can be found growing along tree branches as a epiphyte, never harming its host but growing in harmony adding to the biomass and diversity of an ecosystem. Rhipsalis will grow in almost any light conditions making it ideal as a houseplant and its travelled around the world being cultivated into many forms as a houseplant. It will, however, grow best in bright indirect light.

We’ll deliver the houseplant along with a free, handwritten card - and we’ll leave out the paperwork with the price on!
