I would say that it is an orchid cactus.

Welcome!

Took some digging, but I think it might be Rhipsalis cruciformis. It looks pretty close, but I'm not a cactus expert by any means!

Agree with the direction Carter is going.
Cacto-Correia (Lepismium cruciforme)

I think we are suggesting the same name, listed by various synonyms in various databases.

or . . .
it's a 'lepismium cruciforme'. 😝
at least that's what I call mine based on answers in another site. Names change and far be it from me to say which came first.

Yes, the oldest name takes precedence (except when renamed recently in regard to genetics) when it is realized different names have been given to same plants.
1925 for R. cruciformis.
1838 for L. cruciformis.
I found the dates here:
