Mistletoe Cactus plants are a reminder that Christmas is a feeling we should have all year long. There are almost 1400 species, all of which are native to the Americas and the Caribbean except Mistletoe Cactus, which is also found throughout the tropics of Africa and into Sri Lanka where it is known in Sinhala as Nawahandi. One theory is that the seeds of this epiphytic cactus were distributed by migratory birds from America to these regions. Mistletoe cactus is a vining plant and is well suited for low lighting conditions in hanging planters. 

In its natural habitat, this plant clings to the crevices on trees and rocks in the rainforest hence avoid placing it in direct sunlight. Space your watering session when the topsoil goes dry. Belonging to the tropics, they enjoy high humidity as opposed to the general requirements of a cactus plant.
