This listing is for three unrooted cuttings of Rhipsalis pilocarpa. Cuttings are 10-12cm long.
Rhipsalis thrive in bright, indirect light. Can be grown indoors, or outdoors in a protected area.
As Rhipsalis is commonly grown indoors, care must be given to the placement of the plants. They should be kept at least 50 cm away from windows that receive midday or afternoon sun. The glass in the windows can multiply the heat from the sun’s rays, causing sunburned leaves.
Rhipsalis seldom needs to be watered more than once a week. Check before watering by pressing your finger into the soil to a depth of half an inch. Postpone watering if the soil is moist. You can also use a moisture meter to help you determine whether it is time to water.
Rhipsalis like to drain after watering so never have a saucer under the pot when watering.
They thrive in a free draining cacti compost mix. I like to add in some coconut coir to help with drainage.
A good way to encourage roots is to pop the base of the cutting into a small plastic bag and plant into a free draining cactus potting mix when roots have grown.
