Rhipsalis cereuscula ‘Red Coral’ – Coral Cactus

 🌿🔴🌵

The Rhipsalis ‘Red Coral’ is a striking epiphytic cactus with slender, coral-like stems that flush with red tones when given plenty of bright light. Its branching habit makes it ideal for hanging baskets, where it creates a cascading, sea coral effect. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, it’s a favourite for adding colour and texture to plant displays.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive coral-like branching stems

✔ Flushes red in bright light, adding colour variety

✔ Trailing habit – perfect for hanging baskets or shelves

✔ Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant

✔ A unique cactus that thrives indoors

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; stronger light enhances the red colouring

• Watering: Water moderately; allow the top of soil to dry between waterings

• Soil: Best in a well-draining cactus/epiphyte mix with added bark or perlite

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity, unlike desert cacti

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with cactus feed

• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–26°C; protect from cold drafts and frost

• Growth: Trails up to 40–60 cm with time, creating a bushy cascade

🌿 Tip: Its trailing coral-like stems look especially stunning in hanging planters where the red flush can be fully admired.
