Pseudorhipsalis ‘Amazonia’

🌿 Pseudorhipsalis ‘Amazonia’ (Wittia amazonica)

Genus: Pseudorhipsalis
Commonly referred to as Wittia amazonica, this stunning epiphytic cactus originates from tropical South American rainforests, where it naturally grows attached to trees and rocks under filtered canopy light.

Unlike desert cacti, Pseudorhipsalis ‘Amazonia’ thrives in humid, jungle-like conditions. Its long, ribbon-like stems trail gracefully, creating a lush cascading effect that looks incredible in hanging planters or elevated displays.

✨ Why You’ll Love It

• Rare epiphytic cactus with dramatic trailing growth
• Glossy, deep green foliage with a tropical look
• Perfect for hanging baskets and shelves
• Low maintenance and adaptable indoors

🌸 Flowering Display

One of the most captivating features of Pseudorhipsalis ‘Amazonia’ is its vibrant magenta to hot-pink tubular flowers, which emerge in neat rows along the edges of mature stems. These exotic blooms create a dramatic contrast against the lush green foliage and give the plant a truly rainforest-authentic look.

Blooming is seasonal and influenced by light and maturity. Plants may ship in bud, in bloom, or without flowers.
