Rhipsalis pilocarpa, also known as the Hairy-fruited Wickerware Cactus or Mistletoe Cactus, is a wonderfully unusual indoor plant with long, trailing stems covered in fine, soft hairs. This established specimen (25x50cm) creates instant impact, with its delicate texture, cascading habit, and the potential to produce tiny, star-shaped flowers followed by mistletoe-like berries. If you’re looking for a rare cactus that thrives indoors, this is an ideal choice.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Rhipsalis pilocarpa is native to the cloud forests of Brazil, where it grows as an epiphyte, nestled in trees rather than in the ground. Unlike desert cacti, it prefers shaded, humid environments and has evolved to capture light through its slender stems. In the home, it grows in a tangle of soft, trailing branches that can eventually form long, curtain-like cascades.

Styling tips
This cactus is perfect for a hanging planter or placed high on a shelf where its trailing stems can spill downwards. Its natural, whimsical form works beautifully in bohemian or minimalist interiors, softening hard edges and adding texture. Pair with ceramic pots in muted tones for a modern look, or with natural baskets for an earthy, relaxed style.

Care guide

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and will tolerate partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its stems.

  • Water: Keep the soil lightly moist in spring and summer, allowing the top layer to dry before watering again. Water less in winter.

  • Humidity: Adaptable to normal household humidity but appreciates a slightly more humid environment.

  • Feeding: During the growing season, feed monthly with a gentle fertiliser. We recommend our Organic Tropical Plant Food, a vegan, organic tonic perfect for Rhipsalis and other tropical houseplants.

  • Temperature: Average household conditions are ideal. Keep above 10°C.

Why choose this plant?
The Hairy-fruited Wickerware Cactus is a brilliant plant for anyone seeking something different from the usual succulents or cacti. It’s pet-safe, easy to grow indoors, and has a unique look that works in both modern and relaxed interiors. Its delicate, cascading stems and occasional blooms make it a true conversation piece.

Interesting facts

  • Rhipsalis is the only cactus genus that naturally occurs outside the Americas, with species found in Africa, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka.

  • The nickname “Mistletoe Cactus” comes from its berry-like fruits that resemble mistletoe berries.

  • Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis prefers dappled shade, reflecting its rainforest origins.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
