Rhipsalis pilocarpa, also known as the Hairy-fruited Wickerware Cactus or Mistletoe Cactus, is a wonderfully unusual indoor plant with long, trailing stems covered in fine, soft hairs. This established specimen (25x50cm) creates instant impact, with its delicate texture, cascading habit, and the potential to produce tiny, star-shaped flowers followed by mistletoe-like berries. If you’re looking for a rare cactus that thrives indoors, this is an ideal choice.

Native habitat and growth pattern
Rhipsalis pilocarpa is native to the cloud forests of Brazil, where it grows as an epiphyte, nestled in trees rather than in the ground. Unlike desert cacti, it prefers shaded, humid environments and has evolved to capture light through its slender stems. In the home, it grows in a tangle of soft, trailing branches that can eventually form long, curtain-like cascades.

Styling tips
This cactus is perfect for a hanging planter or placed high on a shelf where its trailing stems can spill downwards. Its natural, whimsical form works beautifully in bohemian or minimalist interiors, softening hard edges and adding texture. Pair with ceramic pots in muted tones for a modern look, or with natural baskets for an earthy, relaxed style.

Care guide

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light and will tolerate partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its stems.

  • Water: Keep the soil lightly moist in spring and summer, allowing the top layer to dry before watering again. Water less in winter.

  • Humidity: Adaptable to normal household humidity but appreciates a slightly more humid environment.

  • Feeding: During the growing season, feed monthly with a gentle fertiliser. We recommend our Organic Tropical Plant Food, a vegan, organic tonic perfect for Rhipsalis and other tropical houseplants.

  • Temperature: Average household conditions are ideal. Keep above 10°C.

Why choose this plant?
The Hairy-fruited Wickerware Cactus is a brilliant plant for anyone seeking something different from the usual succulents or cacti. It’s pet-safe, easy to grow indoors, and has a unique look that works in both modern and relaxed interiors. Its delicate, cascading stems and occasional blooms make it a true conversation piece.

Interesting facts

  • Rhipsalis is the only cactus genus that naturally occurs outside the Americas, with species found in Africa, Madagascar, and Sri Lanka.

  • The nickname “Mistletoe Cactus” comes from its berry-like fruits that resemble mistletoe berries.

  • Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis prefers dappled shade, reflecting its rainforest origins.

FAQs

Q: Does Rhipsalis pilocarpa need a lot of light?
A: No, it does well in bright, indirect light and even tolerates partial shade, which makes it perfect for UK homes with softer light.

A: This usually happens if the plant is too dry or exposed to strong sunlight. Adjust watering and move it to a gentler light spot.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
