8. Rhipsalis (Mistletoe Cactus)

A Rhipsalis, or mistletoe cactus, thrives as one of the unique hanging plants indoor bedroom, showcased in a white macrame hanger, with a bed, nightstand, and botanical wall art softly focused in the background.

Okay, let’s talk about the plant that surprised me the most—Rhipsalis, also known as the Mistletoe Cactus. I didn’t even know this was a thing until I wandered into a little plant boutique in Seattle and saw one hanging like soft green lace from a macramé hanger. It had this delicate, airy appearance that made my super-modern apartment feel instantly softer.

I almost walked past it because I assumed it was high-maintenance. Boy, was I wrong.

The Plant That Thrives Where Others Struggle

Here’s the deal: not every bedroom gets buckets of natural light. If you live in an urban apartment with limited natural sunlight, like I do, this plant is your new best friend.

It does best in filtered light and only needs moderate watering, which makes it perfect for people who forget to water their plants until they’re practically gasping. Mine lives near a window with sheer curtains, and it’s been thriving without throwing any tantrums.

Soft Greenery for a Calm Sleeping Space

One of the things I love most is how Rhipsalis adds a sense of calm and serenity to your sleeping space. It doesn’t scream for attention like some bold tropicals—it just quietly brings peace to the room.

I have mine above my bed in a simple hanging planter, and every time I walk in, it feels like I’m walking into a mini sanctuary. No noise, no stress—just gentle green movement in the air.

Styling It Without Trying Too Hard

This plant is all about the subtle vibe. You don’t need fancy pots or curated shelves. Just give it a quiet corner or a wall-mounted hanger and let it drape its way into your heart.

If you’re into botanical bedroom themes, plant-based home decor, or just want something that feels good without looking staged, Rhipsalis fits right in.
