Description: A colorful and interesting epiphytic cactus formerly in the Rhipsalis group, now classified as Kimnachia. Widespread from Mexico through Central America, northern South America and much of the Caribbean as an epiphyte in open forests. The plants have long branches that form a stiff stem in time, allowing the 30 inch branches to form a shrubby appearance, rather than just hanging limp. The stems are flattened, with crenate margins. Areolae are ciliate in young plants only. The plants take on a deep red color in strong light with abundant white flowers, followed by white berries. Kimnachia ramulosa is a shrubby plant, branching freely from the base. The stems are rounded basally, with branches that become flattened towards their tips. The branches are 1025 cm (410 in) long and up to 2 cm (0.8 in) wide. They are reddish at first, later becoming green. The flowers are pinkish or greenish cream in color, 712 mm (0.30.5 in) long and 1014 mm (0.40.6 in) across. They are usually borne singly and hang downwards. The small whitish fruits are up to 8 mm (0.3 in) long. Ships USPS
