'Jungle Jim'

Jungle Jim is a fun little Jungle Cactus, also known as Rhipsalis. That's right, cacti *do* grow in jungles, not just dry areas.

These Jungle Cactus grow high in the treetops of the jungles of Central and South America. They root into the fallen debris that collects in the crotches of the tree or into the tree surface itself. Luckily, you can grow them at home, as well.

In the jungle, frequent rains run over the roots of Rhipsalis, but drain away. Your Rhipsalis should be planted in a very porous mix that allows for quick drainage and frequent waterings, without becoming heavy or soggy.

Grow in bright, indirect light indoors or out. Protect from temperatures below 40°F.
