Hurricane Cactus (Lepismium Cruciforme)

Lepismium cruciforme is a highly branched cactus with long, segmented stems that have scalloped edges lined with tufts of short, white hairs but no spines. The stem segments are thick, fleshy, highly variable, flat, sometimes 3-, 4-, or even 5-angled, and can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) long and 0.8 inches (2 cm) wide. They are green, usually suffused with purple, and can become almost maroon in full sun.

Unlike most cacti that grow in dry and arid climates, Hurricane Cactus is epiphytic, found growing on trees and rocks in Central and South American rainforests.
