Mistletoe cactus (Rhipsalis baccifera)

Rhipsalis baccifera, also known as the mistletoe cactus, is native to Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Florida. Remarkably, it is the only cactus species that naturally occurs outside the New World. Scientists believe that migratory birds may have transported its seeds to Africa, where it now also grows. This cactus is popular as a houseplant, particularly in hanging planters, due to its easy maintenance.
