Sun Requirements ▾
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. It can handle some early morning sun but should be protected from intense afternoon rays, which can scorch its delicate stems. It also tolerates lower light, making it a flexible choice for indoor spaces.
Watering Instructions ▾
Rhipsalis cereuscula likes to stay moderately moist, especially during the growing season. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, and make sure the pot has proper drainage. Reduce watering in the winter, but avoid letting it dry out completely for long periods. It enjoys a little humidity and benefits from occasional misting in dry spaces.
Care Tips ▾
Use a cactus or succulent mix blended with perlite or orchid bark for ideal drainage and airflow. Rhipsalis cereuscula is naturally found growing in tree canopies, so it loves slightly snug pots and room to cascade. As it grows, it becomes a statement piece with wild, sculptural texture. It’s also easy to propagate from stem cuttings.
