This amazing member of the Jungle Cacti tribe is only found in the tropical rainforests of Brazil where it is threatened by habitat loss! 

It can be easily identified by its alternating, triangular stem sections that somewhat resemble the links of a chain, hence its common name, Chain Cactus. Like pretty much all Jungle Cacti this beauty is super easy to care for!

    Caring for your Chain Cactus (Rhipsalis Paradoxa)

    Position

    As it has adapted to life in under the rainforest canopy it likes bright indirect light and humidity but will also handle a bit of shade. Great for kitchens or bathrooms that get a bit of natural light.

    Managing Growth

    Your plant's beautiful chain-like stems will be between 30 to 60cm long when you receive it and it will continue to fill out. They look amazing in any handmade ceramic pot, especially when paired with a Philodendron with a similar trailing habit such as P. cordatum or P. micans!

    Watering

    Water when the top 2-3cm of soil in the pot dries out during the Spring and Summer months. Water much less during Autumn and Winter. This Cacti is happy to remain on the drier side so if in doubt let it dry out!

    For more detailed care information, please refer to the our Plant Care Guides.

    Our special eco packaging

    No Plant Stress

    Our plant packaging is designed by people know how to keep plants fresh and healthy in transit. Your plants will enjoy a comfortable trip directly from our greenhouse to your door in just a few of days. Your plant will not have to deal with the stress of being bare rooted for transport (how most plants are sent) and you won’t have to deal with the mess and fuss of potting up your new plant when you receive it.

    Stability Support

    The plastic pot will be wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in place, it will then be tied into a specially designed cardboard insert which will keep it stable and upright throughout its journey. The insert will be glued in place on top of your cardboard wrapped ceramic pot to hold it down and your plant up!

    No Re-Potting

    Your plant will come in its plastic pot which we make sure fits perfectly in whichever ceramic pot you choose. Our packaging has been designed to allow us to send your beautiful ceramic pot along with your plant, fully potted, yep in soil, together in the same box.

    Fully Recyclable

    The thing that we’re most proud of is that our packaging is fully recyclable and re-useable so you don’t have to feel bad about generating more packaging waste. In fact you should feel awesome because ordering from us, online, will generate way less emissions than if you were to drive to the nursery to buy a plant. The only plastic you get will be the plastic pot that your plant comes in and these can be re-used or recycled.
