Know before you buy
Not at all. This plant is categorized as easy-care, making it an excellent choice for beginners or those who prefer a low-fuss indoor garden.
It thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sun, which can scorch the delicate trailing stems.
Check the soil moisture once a week. You should only water when the soil feels completely dry to the touch, as this succulent prefers to dry out between waterings.
It is best to let the plant acclimate to your home for a while before repotting. The Rhipsalis prefers a brief rest period after transit before being moved to a new container.
The Rhipsalis has a slow growth rate. While it may not grow rapidly, its established, cascading foliage provides an immediate visual impact in a hanging display.
