**Scientific Name** Rhipsalis crispata (curly wickerwork plant) **Common Name** Mistletoe Cactus, Forest Cactus **Origin** Native to tropical South America, especially Brazil **Description** **Light** Forest cacti like bright, indirect light; they will appreciate a couple of hours of sunlight per day but not much more, and can tolerate lower light levels too as long as they are watered less in a dimmer spot. **Water** In indirect light to deep shade, let the soil dry out between waters; in brighter, direct light only let the top third dry out. **Humidity** Average humidity is fine, just make sure it's not too close to a heater. **Soil** Use a cactus & succulent mix, or one with added coir or bark for drainage; repot every three years in spring as the plant grows. If it's flowering, keep it pot-bound a little longer to prevent it getting shocked by the move and losing flowers. **Food** Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter. **Temperature*
