Rhipsalis- 'Grandiflora'

Native to the lush rainforests of Central and South America, Rhipsalis grandiflora offers a unique twist on the classic cactus. Unlike traditional cacti, this epiphytic beauty thrives by clinging to trees, with its long, slender, cascading stems creating a stunning "waterfall" effect, especially when grown in hanging baskets.

Key Features:

• Cascading Growth – Its long, trailing stems form a graceful, flowing cascade, perfect for hanging baskets or elevated planters.

• Showy, Fragrant Blooms – In spring and summer, it produces large, white, star-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully against the vibrant green, segmented stems. These flowers emit a gentle fragrance, adding to the plant's charm.

• Epiphytic Nature – As an epiphyte, Rhipsalis grandiflora naturally grows on trees, making it ideal for indoor spaces where it can thrive in bright, indirect light and higher humidity.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, making it perfect for indoor spaces with lower light levels.

• Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to prevent overwatering.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy mix such as an orchid or epiphyte mix for optimal growth.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures ranging from 18-24°C (64-75°F), ideal for indoor environments.

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity, so misting or placing it in a humid room can enhance its growth.

Additional Benefits:

• Air-Purifying: Known for its air-purifying properties, this non-toxic plant makes a safe and healthy addition to any home.

• Low Maintenance: Rhipsalis grandiflora is easy to care for, making it suitable for both experienced plant enthusiasts and beginners.
