Rhipsalis Ewaldiana

Rhipsalis ewaldiana is a graceful, epiphytic cactus native to tropical forests. Its slender, arching stems form elegant cascades, making it perfect for hanging baskets or decorative pots. Unlike desert cacti, this variety thrives in shaded, humid environments and adds a soft, textured presence to indoor plant collections.

Its vibrant green stems branch freely and may produce small, white to pink flowers followed by ornamental berries, adding seasonal interest.

Features:

• Cascading Growth: Long, slender stems drape beautifully from pots or baskets.

• Shade-Tolerant: Grows well in lower light compared to most cacti.

• Epiphytic Nature: Naturally grows on trees in tropical forests.

• Occasional Blooms: Produces small, starry flowers followed by white or pink berries.

• Pet-Safe: Rhipsalis are generally non-toxic to pets (double-check for your specific case).

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh direct sun.

• Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Water more in summer, less in winter.

• Humidity: Enjoys higher humidity. Mist occasionally if air is very dry.

• Soil: Use a well-draining mix with added organic matter (like orchid bark or coco coir).

• Temperature: Keep above 10°C. Protect from cold drafts and frost.
