The Red Mistletoe Cactus Plant can do well indoors or outdoors but does not thrive in direct sunlight. Exposure to afternoon sun can burn the leaves, turn them yellow or lead to spotting, however without sufficient sunlight they will not bloom and the leaves will remain green. Growth can be stunned with insufficient light.
They are not a drought- resistance plant, so regular watering is essential. Over watering can cause weak stems and rotted roots.
