Also known by the botanical names \u003cem\u003eLepismium monacanthum\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePfeiffera monacantha\u003c\/em\u003e, it is an epiphytic cactus native to the forests of Bolivia and Argentina, where it grows draped across tree branches rather than baking in the desert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe freely branching stems build into a full cascade, so it earns its place in a hanging pot or spilling from a tall shelf. A rewarding, fast-growing plant that brings a shot of rainforest colour when those orange blooms appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCare at a glance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect.
