Highlights
Rhipsalis teres (Steudel): An epiphytic cactus with variable forms that grows profuse, branching stems. The stems are smooth, green, and slender, only occasionally sporting wool or minimal bristles. This species makes a striking houseplant in a hanging basket. It blooms with yellow to white flowers midway along a stem segment. Native to Brazil.
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.
