Prickly ambition

It was a different kind of interview. Even before we met, we were impressed by Rhipsalis’ prickly ambition to remain the only cactus natively found in Africa. This was the steely drive and independent sense of ambition we were looking for.

We were equally impressed by Rhipsalis’ stack of shaggy mistletoe-like hair and long, dangly stems. The nickname mistletoe cactus sealed the deal – who doesn’t love Christmas?

Rhipsalis is settling into life at Hudson Willow perched by the window. Interestingly, this cactus doesn’t like hot, dry weather. Instead, it prefers indirect light and ideally a little humidity. The perfect candidate for living in the bathroom, really, as Rhipsalis also loves regular misting. But we won’t do that. Otherwise, no watering and presumably no tea or coffee breaks required.

Rhipsalis is on three-month probation so we can understand whether this mistletoe cactus has romantic sensibilities and are therefore keeping it under strict observation away from the other Hudson Willow cacti. In the meantime, Rhipsalis is encouraged to show signs of flowers and berries. Stay tuned.
