Highlights
Rhipsalis pilocarpa (Loefgren): Epiphytic (tree-dwelling) cactus with angular, branching green stems coated in white wool. Endemic to Brazil, these stems can grow up to 20" long and make a striking trailing plant in hanging pots. It produces large 1.5" white blooms and dark red fruits. This species earned the Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" round, plastic pot.
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.
