8" Hanging Basket - Hurricane Cactus

Unlike other cacti, the Hurricane Cactus (Lepismium cruciforme) won’t thrive in desert-like conditions. To keep its happy, deep green color, find a bright spot with filtered light and don’t allow the soil to dry out. Let the top few inches of soil dry out between waterings to avoid root rot. 

Perhaps surprisingly, the Hurricane Cactus is a type of Rhipsalis. This may be most evident when the plant is in bloom, as the small white and yellow flowers are similar to other Rhipsalis blooms.

These plants come in an 8″ hanging nursery pot, but the individual plants will vary in size and shape.
