Gift Tree

$49.99 AUD
Approx $30.89 USD

Rhipsalis is a genus of epiphytic cacti. They grow mostly pendent, few grow more or less upright or sprawling. They produce flowers that are small, usually about 1 cm in diameter, white or whitish in most species. The fruits are always berries, they are whitish or coloured pink, red or yellow. Water freely when in growth, but keep dryer in winter. Mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity and make sure the winter temperatures stay above 10°C. The plant is most often found indoors and may simply be mounted on a piece of bark like an orchid or potted in a good cactus mix. Rhipsalis pilocarpa has long, hairy stems. They grow erect at first, but in time become pendent, and up to 40 cm long. It produces very fragrant white flowers, singly or in pairs. Fruit is red and spherical, with hairy tufts.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Thrives best in bright, indirect light with morning and evening sun
• Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings
• Considerations: Rhipsalis cacti are quite slow-growing species, which is fortunate since some specimens can grow up to 20 feet long after many years.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You'll get a healthy Rhipsalis that meets our rigorous quality standards in a 15cm nursery pot, other planters are sold separately. No two plants are alike, and yours will have its own unique shape, size, and personality; expect this natural variation from the photos.
