Hanging Rhipsalis – Lepismium

Lepismium is a beautiful, trailing epiphytic cactus known for its long, arching stems and soft, cascading growth. Native to South American rainforests, this unique plant thrives in indirect light and higher humidity, making it a fantastic low-maintenance option for homes and offices.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the stems.

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

Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Misting or using a humidity tray can help maintain ideal conditions.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 10°C.

Care Tip: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of orchid bark, peat, and perlite. Fertilize monthly during the growing season for healthy, vigorous growth.

With its soft, trailing stems and easy-care nature, Lepismium Bolivianum is perfect for hanging baskets, high shelves, or as part of a lush indoor jungle. Its flowing form brings a natural, tropical feel to any space!
