Highlights
Rhipsalis neves-armondii (Schumann): Trailing cactus of slender, branching green stems. Its round stems grow in segments up to 4.0" long each and have short bristles. They branch in whorls and can bloom with a gorgeous white flower at their tips. This species is native to Brazil where it can grow to a sprawling 6.0' from trees (epiphytic) or rocks (lithophytic).
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They 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 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
