We bring to you Medusa, a wonderfully weird and highly sought after Chain Cactus, more properly known as Rhipsalis Paradoxa.
These can grow as long as 5 metres! She would look great trailing on a shelf edge or in a hanging planter or macrame.
She is native to Brazil and is quite unfussy, making an ideal fit for your home jungle.
You will receive one plant in a 14cm hanging nursery pot. the hanging part can simply be unclipped from the pot if you prefer.
Avoid direct sunlight as this may scorch the leaves/branches. This plant is a cactus but enjoys humidity as well as warmth making her fit well in a bathroom or kitchen. Allow the topsoil to dry out completely before watering, weekly during summer and every two weeks in winter. The ideal temperature in her environment is 18 to 24 °C.
Make sure you let any excess water drain away to avoid root rot.
*Medusa is not toxic to pets*

Not as much growth as shown as some stems were dead.
Thank you for your feedback. We did email back and forth about this but I would like to take this opportunity for anyone else reading to get the full story. We left two small, old stems in the pot which had been there since arrival from the nursery. This is because we did not want to stress the plant before sending and they may also still be connected to the existing root system. So, we decided it was better for the health of the plant to let them natural decompose.
The plant itself is beginning to flower, it is very healthy. We apologise for your disappointment and offered for you to return the plant for a refund, but you chose not to. We always consider any complaints carefully and if we believe a plant is not up to standard, we actually get in touch in advance with customers and let them know and offer a discount if appropriate. However, on this occasion we did not feel these remains of stems warranted this so we offered for you to return it instead.
At no point did you ever mention any issue with the plant itself, complain about the growth or anything like that. We asked you and the only thing you were not happy about were these stems. We advised how to remove them if you wanted to do that and any other assistance you would like in letting the plant continue to grow healthily.
Thanks again for shopping with us and leaving your review and we are sorry we could not help you more, Pamela and Craig

Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
