Rhipsalis paradoxa, the chain link cactus, is an epiphytic cactus native to Brazil. The three-angled ridges alternate along the long, branching stems giving them a chain-like appearance.

This jungle cactus grows on the branches of trees, where it receives light filtered by the canopy above.
Care of Rhipsalis paradoxa:
- Bright, indirect light
- 40 to 95 degrees
- trailing to several feet
- Water when top two inches of soil are dry.
Family: Cactaceae
This plant is shipped in a 3.5 - 4 inch pot.
