Rhipsalis clavata is an epiphytic cactus native to South America, known for its striking, elongated, and pencil-thin stems that can cascade over the edges of pots or hanging baskets. Its pendant growth habit gives it a unique and elegant silhouette, making it a favorite among indoor plant collectors. This species thrives in indirect light and is a perfect choice for bright interiors that don’t receive harsh sun.
