Hanging Rhipsalis - Crispata

Hanging Rhipsalis Crispata

Rhipsalis Crispata is a unique, trailing epiphytic cactus known for its cascading, wavy-edged stems and lush green foliage. Its soft, flowing growth makes it an ideal choice for hanging baskets, adding texture and movement to any indoor space. Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis prefers indirect light and higher humidity, making it a great low-maintenance option for homes and offices.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light but thrives best with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist, allowing the top layer to dry between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for best results.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–24°C. Avoid exposure to cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C.

Care Tip: Use a well-draining cactus or epiphyte mix, and fertilize monthly during the growing season to encourage healthy growth.

With its cascading form and minimal care requirements, Rhipsalis Crispata is an excellent choice for adding a soft, tropical feel to any indoor plant collection. Perfect for shelves, hanging planters, or as part of a lush, green display!
