I bought this plant from a local plant farm and they called it a "Ribbon Cactus". It reminds me of a christmas cactus but it is definitely not one.

I've had it all year and it just started blooming. The little blooms are incredibly small. I didn't even notice the blooms until I went to take pictures for this post.

Any ideas?

My guess is Homalocladium platycladum.

I wonder if it could be a Rhipsalis? Maybe R. micrantha?

edit…I think Danita is on to it!

Definitely it, thank you so much!

Glad to help!
It's such a neat looking plant, but one of its common names is just awful!

I know! I'm trying to eat lunch here!

Do you still have Mercury dimes in circulation down there?

We find them from time to time. Whenever I find one I put it on my shelf so it was the first coin in reach when I was looking for something to photograph for scale.

Well,.........Its a new one to me! Thank you for bringing it to the table, and it certainly has the power of being a conversation starter!

It should be the living centerpiece at Halloween right next to the Horrors' D'oeuvres!
