🌿 Rhipsalis paradoxa ‘Minor’ – Care Tips

Rhipsalis paradoxa ‘Minor’ is a rare epiphytic jungle cactus known for its distinct, angular, chain-like stems that gracefully drape and twist as they grow. Unlike desert cacti, it thrives in humid, shaded environments, making it a favorite for indoor hanging pots or shelf edges.
