H. gaertneri is found in southeastern Brazil, in Paraná and Santa Catarina, at altitudes of 350–1,300 m (1,100–4,300 ft).

As with other species of the genus, H. gaertneriRosea grows on trees (epiphytic) or less often rocks (lithophytic) in sub-tropical rain forest.

With maturity, it develops into a branching pendant leafless shrub with a woody base.

The stems are made up of segments, most of which are flattened and which are the photosynthetic organs (cladodes) of the plant.

Younger segments are dullish green, 4–7 cm (1.6–2.8 in) long and 2–2.5 cm (0.8–1.0 in) wide, with small notches on the margins.

Structures characteristic of cacti, called areoles, form in these notches.

Flowers form from areoles at the ends of the stems.

These are orange in colour, 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in) long, radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), opening to a funnel shape with a maximum diameter of about 4–7.5 cm (1.6–3.0 in).

Red oblong fruits form after the flowers are fertilized
