    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Rhipsalis cereuscala, also called Coral Cactus, is a dwarf shrub-forming succulent with bright green, branching foliage. The mostly upright, zigzagging branches will eventually spill over, making this an excellent addition or showcase for a hanging pot. Displays a profusion of delicate, graceful white flowers at the branch ends.

    This is a really cooky plant. Very thin long olive green stems are adorned with translucent white flowers in late winter, spring.
