How to Care for the Plant
Water
The soil can be allowed to dry out somewhat between watering. Water moderately once a week on average. If Rhipsalis is hanging in the sun, it will need a bit more water.
Pruning
Prune to maintain size and remove dead foliage. Best propagated by stem cutting during periods of active growth. Repot every few years to refresh soil or increase pot size as your Rhipsalis grows. Overwatering can result in root rot.
Fertilizer
A bit of plant food once a month.
