Rhipsalis baccifera (J.S.Muell.) Stearn, in horticulture still known under its synonym name Rhipsalis cassutha Gaertn.; is an extremely widespread species widely distributed in tropical America and the Caribbean. Also known as Mistletoe cactus or Spaghetti cactus, it is a graceful epiphyte succulent with long thread-like stems and numerous creamy-white flowers followed by mistletoe-like fruits. It forms large hanging clusters, 1 to 4 metres long (occasionally up to 9 meters). Like most cacti it has succulent stems, however in R. baccifera these are weak, slender, narrow and pendent. It shows considerable polymorphism as a result of the existence of lots of geographically isolated populations and can be divided into numerous subspecies.
