Rhipsalis

Long and luscious strands, approx 1 metre in length, perfect for the shelf or hanging pot. Rhipsalis is a cacti genus with approximately 35 distinct species.  Rhipsalis have no needles, and they are native to the rainforests of SOuth America, the Carribbean and Central Amercia leading to their classification as jungle cacti.

Rhipsalis enjoy bright but indirect light. Exposure to afternoon sun can burn the leaves, trn them yellow, or lead to spotting. In their native environment, Rhipsalis is accustomed to receiving light that has been filtered through dense, overhanging tree branches. Picturing this environment can help you adjust your lighting accordingly.
