This delicate epiphytic jungle cactus is native to the tropical forests of Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela . It grows primarily in the wet tropical biome as an epiphyte on trees. Unlike desert cacti, it thrives in humid, shaded environments .
Features slender, three-angled stems that mature into four- to six-angled forms, giving it a distinctive architectural appeal . The stems are olive green, sometimes with pinkish margins. Over time, the stems become long and trailing, making it a stunning addition to hanging planters . In optimal conditions, it produces small, white flowers followed by round, white to reddish-tinged fruits .
Easy to care for and low-maintenance, making it perfect for hanging basket displays.
