Rhipsalis Cactus Varieties

The Rhipsalis family offers a unique take on cacti with its soft, trailing stems and tropical origins. Perfect for hanging planters or as a tabletop feature, these plants are easy to care for and add an interesting touch of greenery to any space.

Foliage:

• Rhipsalis plants have thin, pencil-like stems that grow in a trailing or cascading form. Their delicate, intricate structure is visually striking and ideal for adding texture to your plant collection.

Size:

• These cacti vary in size depending on the variety but typically grow up to 2-3 feet long when mature, making them ideal for hanging baskets.

Care Instructions:

• Light:

• Rhipsalis thrives in bright, indirect light but can also handle low-light conditions. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, which can scorch their sensitive stems.

• Water:
  Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top inch feels dry. Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis appreciates a bit more humidity and moisture. Be sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.

• Soil:
  Use a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark helps with drainage and aeration.

• Humidity:
  Native to rainforests, Rhipsalis appreciates higher humidity levels. It thrives in bathrooms or kitchens, or you can mist it occasionally to keep it happy.

• Temperature:
  Ideal temperatures are between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Keep them away from cold drafts, as they don't tolerate cold well.

Benefits:

• Air Purifying:
  Like many other houseplants, Rhipsalis helps to improve air quality by filtering out toxins and releasing fresh oxygen.

• Low Maintenance:
  Despite their exotic appearance, Rhipsalis is a forgiving and low-maintenance plant, making it perfect for beginners or busy plant lovers.
