A very cool Rhipsalis, with long, thick cascading stems that have flattened out sections that alternate directions, giving them the appearance of being linked together like a chain. Great in a hanging basket or a wall planter, a mature specimen is fantastic looking!
They do great in a mix of equal parts peat or cocoa fiber, perlite and orchid bark.
Water when the soil starts to dry a couple inches down. Keep a bit more on the dry side in winter.
Not tolerant of frost. It will survive temps. of 32-35 degrees for short periods but the leaves will get spotted and rough looking.
USDA Zones 10b-13b
