Start Your Plant Mom Era with These 10 Hanging Beauties

10. Rhipsalis (Mistletoe Cactus)

Okay, let me tell you about the plant that surprised me the most—Rhipsalis, also known as Mistletoe Cactus.

I almost walked right past it at the plant shop because I was looking for something bold and dramatic, like a Pothos or a ZZ Plant. But something about its soft, trailing stems caught my eye. It looked like green spaghetti hanging out in slow motion—and I had to have it.

The Gentle Giant of Hanging Plants 🌿💫

Here’s the thing: unlike most cacti that scream “desert” and “spikes,” Rhipsalis is all softness and flow. Its thin, segmented stems drape down gracefully, giving off this totally dreamy, whimsical vibe that’s hard to beat.

I hung mine above my bookshelf and now every time I walk by, it feels like there’s a little curtain of green swaying gently in the breeze—even when there’s no breeze. If you’re into creating a soft, layered hanging garden, this one deserves a spot on your list.

Perfect for the Urban Jungle 🏙️🌱

Now, if you live in an apartment with limited sunlight—like me—this might be your new best friend. I’ve got a fourth-floor unit in the city with tall buildings blocking half the sky, and guess what? My Rhipsalis doesn’t care.

It actually prefers low-light conditions, which makes it perfect for:

• north-facing windows
• dim corners of your living room
• even office spaces with just artificial light

Unlike other cacti that throw a tantrum without sun, this one just keeps doing its thing quietly in the background.

Low-Key but Totally Lovable 🌱✨

One more reason I’m obsessed? It’s so low-key you almost forget it’s there—until you notice new stems growing and cascading even further, making your space feel more alive.

Quick tips from my experience:

• Keep it in bright indirect light or moderate artificial light
• Water sparingly—let the soil dry out between drinks
• Don’t over-pot—it likes to be a little cozy in its container

If you’re into urban apartment gardening, love delicate indoor plants, or want something that brings a touch of soft botanical charm to your home, Rhipsalis is a total hidden gem.
