Thank you for all the work you put into your videos and all the time you take to share this information. As you've pointed out several times, and any collector knows, it's hard to find the correct information on Rhipsalis and your channel has become an invaluable resource.
Thank you, I’m happy to hear they are useful. While I set out to share a general love of epiphytic cacti it doesn’t hurt to try to help correct some of their identities. When I first started to collect Rhipsalis I was really frustrated by the lack of resources and surprised at the confusion in the genus. I’m sure there are other genus with that level of confusion but I haven’t encountered any of them 😂.
Wowsas. I’m a cacti collector for over 20 years and only watch desert plants of Avalon and Morris in the park (I think that’s what his name is😂) and now you!!!! I love that you know what’s up and go into such detail. My obsession with desert cacti is on this level and as a lover of epiphytic cacti, these videos are great! Not to be a shit, but all these young people who have grown plants for like two years and are making videos about plants like they are experts, growing everything in glass vases like lunatics, not my jive. 😂😂😂 Love all the work you and passion you put into these!!!! ❤ Also, the Lexington books are wonderful. Cool to see another human that has them!
Thank you for going through your (A-G) collection and explaining the differences and what is unique about each of the different forms of Rhipsalis and all the sub species forms. That is a very impressive collection. I'll bet you have fun just hang out with all these cascading plants around you, in your own little jungle there in Minnesota. Do your get a lot of pollinators coming in when they are blooming outside or do, they mostly bloom indoors for you with the grow lights when you are trying to get the fruit to grow? Looking forward to the next installment of your Rhipsalis collection and all the research you go through to prepare. Love your posts and the knowledge you're sharing. Thanks again from San Diego.
Thank you! Being in my plants is my favorite place to be, I love it. Oh yes, these really chubby green hummingbirds are always in the Rhipsalidopsis and Disocactus hybrds. They like the Rhipsalidopsis the most. Bees get really into the Rhipsalis and all the other epiphytic cacti but they seem to like the Rhipsalis the most. I watched one spend a ridiculous amount of time going from flower to flower and then repeating it many times over on Rhipsalis cereuscula. Some Rhipsalis are self-sterile while other are self-fertile. It’s not something I found too much information on in the literature about them, it’s more trying it out and seeing if berries form 😂. It’s interesting that some are extremely self-fertile and readily produce berries indoors and out without any effort, others only produce berries outside or need to be hand pollinated, and some you would need two clones for. H-Z should be coming in a few days. 💚🌱
My dream video! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge with such clarity. I also loved the last few scenes showcasing your hanging garden. My collection is steadily growing and it is interesting to see how availability differs between the US and Tasmania. In early colonial days Brazil was a stopping point for ships sailing to Tasmania from England and I wonder if some species we currently grow, arrived back then. Jungle cactus in general are often found in older Tassie gardens but are usually unlabelled.
Interesting! What do you think was most surprising that is common there but rare here and vice versa? It’s my dream to wander through older hidden gardens with unknown treasures 😂💚🌱!
@@EpiphyticCacti R goebeliana, campos-portoana, eliptica, ewaldiana are often sold here but I have never seen a R grandiflora, floccosa, or dissimilis for sale in shops. God I hope my spelling is ok lol. Also, watching your interviews has made me quite skeptical about labels and I'm now waiting for flowers and fruit. I was wondering if you knew what the correct i.d. of the background 'R goebeliana' should be?
🤣 I had to put a note in the description because I spelled R. floccosa ssp. pulvinigera wrong, some of these are hard! I don’t know the correct species for it. I have seen some speculation about it but I’ll wait for flowers and fruit so I can take some measurements and might be able to figure it out then. I have a few that don’t fit any description.
Such a well made and comprehensive video of Rhipsalis! I definitely learned a lot watching this, thank you so much for taking the time to make it. A valuable resource for sure. What is the ID of the plant you showed that is commonly mislabelled as R. goebeliana? I have seen that one under different names many times, but no positive ID from what I can tell. Thank you!
Thank you! I don’t what the ID. I‘be heard people will to say it’s a micrantha but that isn’t accurate, you can tell by the blooms. The blooms indicate it’s clearly related to the flat round clade species but I haven’t come across a description that fits that species. It’s not uncommon to have Rhipsalis in our collections that aren’t formally identified or the identification is buried under a lot of history with the all the species reductions that have happened over the years. If I ever solve that mystery I will absolutely do a video about it!
thanks so much for the info! i have been trying to research which kind of rhipsalis i have and after watching several different sections i’ve come to the conclusion that…. i still don’t know lol 😅 BUT the reason ive been researching is that my rhipsalis has that wooding or “corking” as you called it near the base & a little throughout & i’ve just been trying to find something that tells me that’s ok (& that it’s not scale!) so maybe it is just a baccifera after all. thanks for confirming!
I’m only 5 minutes in, but yes, agree with the frenchman about comment Rhipsalis in Europe, but I have search for R. Hoelleri for a long time and I can only find it in the united States and it looks like you see that varity a lot over there. I live in scandinavia and I can’t find that damn plant over here :)
Hi, I’m Gabriela from Fayetteville NC. I have a rhipsalis dissmilis dismilis and rhipsalis and the paradox’s. Please look at the pictures and address what you see🙏🏽⚡️
I want to send you a picture of a Rhipsalis and I got the picture of it from another RUclipsr. The name they titled looks different from the one you have and I wanted to purchase one but I don’t know the name of it please help me. You know so much about Rhipsalis.

I bought what Tropiflora called agudoensis, but it wasn’t….it was goebeliana. Was happy to get it and the soft color and holly-like form is lovely!
Yes, I really Iike the holly shaped clades too, it’s different and interesting. 💚🌱

Hi, if I can identify it I will! Please send pictures to epiphyticcacti..com 💚🌱
I hate stupid common name choices, I like petunia species, but wild petunia shows up 100% when searching for them
Mauritiana turning red makes some people call it fire sticks like the euphorbia plant, and they do look similar at a glance I guess
