Easter Cactus - Rhipsalifopsis gaertneri

The Easter cactus, also known as the holiday cactus, is a tropical cactus known for its prolific star-shaped blooms of various potential colors that tend to bloom in the spring, near the Easter holiday.

This easy-to-grow epiphyte doesn't need soil in the wild, preferring rocks, trees, and other plants as its substrate. Easter cactus grows well as a houseplant, in which case it prefers dappled, filtered light and requires loose, well-draining soil so that air can reach its roots.
