Rhipsalis paradoxa – Chain Cactus Hanging Basket

Rhipsalis paradoxa, also known as the Chain Cactus, is a fascinating jungle cactus with long, segmented stems that resemble links in a chain. Native to the humid forests of Brazil, this epiphytic cactus naturally grows on tree branches, where its stems drape gracefully in filtered light. In a hanging basket, those same pendulous chains create an eye-catching, architectural display that feels sculptural and soft at the same time.

Unlike typical desert cacti, Rhipsalis enjoys gentle light, consistent moisture, and higher humidity—making it a perfect plant for bright rooms, plant shelves, and hanging corners that don’t get harsh direct sun.


Plant Profile

  • Botanical Name: Rhipsalis paradoxa
  • Common Names: Chain Cactus, Link Cactus
  • Family: Cactaceae
  • Native Range: Atlantic forests of Brazil (subtropical/tropical moist lowland forests)
  • Plant Type: Epiphytic, jungle cactus with trailing segmented stems

Rhipsalis Paradoxa Care Guide

  • Care Level: Easy to Moderate – forgiving once you match its jungle-cactus needs
  • Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. It also does well in dappled or medium light. Avoid harsh, direct sun that can scorch the stems.
  • Water: Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water thoroughly, then allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (around 50–70%). Typical household humidity is fine, but added humidity will encourage lush growth.
  • Temperature: Best between 60–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below ~50°F.
  • Soil: Use a very well-draining, airy mix (such as cactus or succulent mix amended with orchid bark and perlite) to mimic its epiphytic roots.
  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced or cactus-specific liquid fertilizer.
  • Growth Habit: Trailing; chain-like segmented stems can easily reach 2–3+ feet in length in a hanging basket.
  • Pruning: Trim stems to control length or shape; cut segments can be used for propagation.
  • Propagation: Simple from stem cuttings—allow cut ends to callus briefly, then plant in a well-draining mix.
  • Toxicity: Considered non-toxic to humans and pets if touched or ingested.

What Makes Rhipsalis Paradoxa Unique?

This isn’t your typical spiky cactus. Rhipsalis paradoxa is thornless, soft to the touch, and naturally cascading. The stems are made of plump, three-angled segments that link together like a chain, creating a sculptural, almost geometric look in a hanging basket. In the right conditions, small white flowers can appear along the stems, followed by decorative berry-like fruits—an extra reward for consistent care.

Because it’s epiphytic and adapted to life in the tree canopy, it tolerates gentler light and appreciates humidity more than desert cacti do. That makes it a great choice for bright rooms, near east- or north-facing windows, or a bit back from a sunny window where the light is filtered.


Styling Your Chain Cactus

Hang your Rhipsalis paradoxa where its cascading stems can really shine—over a stairwell, in front of a bright window, or as a statement piece in your plant corner. Pair it with broad-leafed foliage plants for contrast, or group it with other epiphytic cacti for a lush, jungle-inspired look.

Pro Tip: Rotate the hanging basket every few weeks so the stems grow evenly and form a full, balanced cascade.

Great toilet paper but it needs to be individually wrapped
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
This toilet paper is soft and comfortable. I have tried different brands of bamboo toilet paper and a lot of them are too rough or sometimes they can leave lint behind (although the lint in general is not as bad compared to regular toilet paper). This toilet paper doesn't leave lint behind and it isn't rough on my skin. Although they seem super thin, they absorb very well and I don't have to use as much toilet paper. Overall, the quality is good and they function great. There was another brand I was using, but they went up in price by a lot. I decided to give this one a try. This is a good value for bamboo toilet paper. However, I wish the toilet paper rolls were individually wrapped for hygienic purposes. It doesn't come in smaller packs inside the big pack like some brands may do. Once it's open, all 24 rolls are exposed.

Good TP
Size: 9 Mega Roll
Nice paper. It doesn't have lint like other papers. Fairly strong for natural TP. It is not economical for larger families though. I would buy it for a 2-3 person household. It's not super-soft, but it's doesn't feel cheap.
