Highlights
Rhipsalis 'Ferrari': A cultivar of the most widespread species of cactus (R. baccifera). In the wild, this hanging cactus can grow without soil from trees (epiphytic) or rocks (lithophytic). Its long, slender stems branch and trail over 3.0' and turn red when grown in bright sun. Unlike most cacti, this is an Old World variety, native to tropical climates from Africa to Sri Lanka.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
