Rhipsalis

Plant Care Tips & Tricks

Rhipsalis

Rhipsalis is unlike most cacti because it naturally grows in tropical rainforests, not deserts. This explains why its care requirements are so different from other cacti; however, it is still a very hardy plant that requires little maintenance.

Lighting: This plant prefers indirect, bright sunlight.

Irrigation: Allow the soil to partially dry between thorough irrigations. It can be sensitive to overwatering but doesn't like to completely dry like other cacti species.

Fertilizer: Once a month in summer is good. Once every two months during Fall, Winter, and Spring. Any house plant food will work well.
