Rhipsalis pilocarpa 4.5" HB

These Rhipsalis are growing in 4 5" white plastic hanging baskets with removeable saucers. They're fully rooted and already beginning to trail. These are 100% QB grown in hand mixed living soil.

Rhipsalis are a genus of epiphytic cacti. Epiphytic cacti are jungle cacti that use another plant, typically a tree, for support. You'll find these naturally growing in the crooks of tree branches where leaf litter and moss has built up, using their roots to attach to the trees bark. Rhipsalis pilocarpa is native to South America, specifically the Brazilian Rain Forests.

CARE TIPS:

🌞 Bright indirect light is ideal, although these are tolerant of medium indirect light

💧 Only let these dry out about 15-20% between waterings. Avoid fully drying out. These are jungle cacti so they like quite a bit more moisture than desert cacti 

💨 These prefer higher humidity but acclimate perfectly fine to average household humidity. I reccomend running a humidifier during winter, especially the cold months. When these mature, if given consisten humidity, they will reward you with pretty flowers

💊 Regularly fertilize this plant, especially if it is putting out a lot of new growth or flowering. Fertilizer year round as these are tropical plants and do not have a winter dormancy
