- Rhipsalis are a favorite jungle cactus of mine; and I've covered a whole video on Rhipsalis Care and Propagation, which you can see in 'Plant One On Me' Ep 128 here: • Rhipsalis Care and Pro... . Rhipsalis baccifera is my subject today- #126 in "365 Days of Plants".
I'll be touching upon where this plant is native to, how it grows, where I'm growing mine in my home, and other basic care tips.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

Got mine when I helped my friend move her giant one to Staten Isand. The deal was I keep anything that falls off. Propagates like a champ and now I'm giving them away like I'm Oprah!
I can only imagine you carrying it and bumping it into every wall.... "Ooops, another stem fell! And another!" ..... :)
"giving them away like I'm Oprah"... like that.. lol.

😂😂😂😂love it!!
😂😂😍😂
I have a huge one of these, which is very lush and grows like crazy in the shadow of a north window where from November to February the temperature is usually around 5 degrees Celcius, though in January it often drops to 0 degrees for a few weeks, which doesn't bother it as it flowers like crazy every January. I don't water it at all from October to early March and this is why it survives the cold.
Great tidbits of information here. Didn't realize it can handle such cold temperatures!
I love this series. Thank you for the info.
Glad you're enjoying! Trying to get through some of the edits now! haha.
Another theory is that these plants were in what is now N. America, S. America, Africa and S. Asia when the land was 1 combined continent. The continents moved, not the plants. There is some DNA evidence to back this theory. Anyway, this is the only cacti considered to be native to more than just the Americas.
The suspense is too much for me to handle at this point! Please tell me (us) what happens 239 days from now!? Does the series just end? on day 240 will it just be radio silence!? There has to be more plants to feature. I'm making myself sick with the thought of the approaching unknown... 😰
haha you are so funny. Let the countdown begin!!!! Well, at the very least, you'll have my regular 'Plant One On Me' videos... ;)
Thanks for posting. I've got one of these on the top of my bookshelf drooping down the sides, looking really good. But it has recently been dropping lots of small bits on the floor, which I thought was a problem, so when I saw this video I immediately watch hoping I might be able to find out what the problem was. I didn't even know what it was called, otherwise I'd have looked it up, so even knowing the name is a good start!
Clearly, I was wrong to think it was a problem and what I should have been doing was using the bits that fell off to propagate more! Glad that's sorted then! :-) Most appreciative of the video.
Sorry bebe I been putting you in the south facing window :(
Now I will move you to shade
Awesome information! Mine is a lime green and has a dozen fruits on it. I love this plant!
This is an amazing cacti, I have two Rhipsalis and love them so much, and whenever I run into another one I scoop it up because they are so unique, the oldest Rhipsalis I have is over 15 years old and started tiny and is at least three or four times it's starting size.Thanks again Summer for this series, loving everyday of it!
Thanks for sharing your love of Rhipsalis. And glad you're enjoying the series too!
I was just given one from a friend and I am so excited to have it in my collection! great care tips and info, I can’t wait to watch her thrive!
I have one that was tiny teeny and I now have 3 and they are large.
I love it.
Love this one! Mine is starting to really grow now that I had it for 6 months or so. Such a cute scraggly plant. Thanks for sharing Summer. It's always so great to see you
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 I love this!! This is such a prolific grower
Hey! Gorgeous plants, all of them ❤️ can you recommend me something bark-y that I could purchase on amazon in Canada?! I was using miracle grow but 1, not only are all their products essentially indoor potting mix just in different bags (the sphagnum moss was exactly the same as their potting soil) but they always come with fungus gnats now, lots of fungus gnats. But I’m looking for some soil medium to transplant my mistletoe cactus cuttings to and I’d love your advice!
Orchid bark is a wonderful soil amendment to keep on hand. I would highly recommend making your own soil mix. I was intimidated by the idea for ages and then I tried it and it's really easy and my plants are thriving.
I purchased coco coir, worm castings, and cactus pumice off eBay and I mix them in a 2:1:1 ratio for most of my plants. For a plant like rhipsalis, I would double the amount of pumice and also add a scoop or 2 of orchid bark. There are lots of great videos and soil recipes online but it's fairly simple. The best part is no fungus gnats!
Congrats Summer!!!😀 Saw you on Rachael Ray❤❤❤
Thanks!
They must have run it again!
@@summerrayneoakes I thought it was a repeat😊❤
Are the berries edible? 😊
Just got mine today
I have what I think...thought...was a mistletoe cactus but mine has some parts if it that are hairy/pokey and some parts that are slick with no hairs, maybe a different kind of rhipsalis?
Likely. This one is smooth. Maybe a Pilocarpa? Or could be another. There aren't that many species. And some are now being hybridized too.
There is a subspecies ‘horrida’ with spines. I have that one too and there are some parts of mine that are spineless.
Ripsalis beastyfera... 😁😅😉🙃
total beast!
I have this Rhipsalis in my kitchen, hanging in my window, which gets some afternoon sun...not bright light. Like you, I water it every other week...a good watering. It's doing great. It's a good size (already big when I bought it at Home Depot a few years ago)...and it's growing nicely. It's one of my favorite plants. Thanks, Summer.
Hey Summer, Do you have any advice? We have hit the heat of summer here in Australia, I was wondering if you can help as my beautiful plant (which ive had almost a year is going through its first summer) is now starting to get alot hard brown sections on the tendrils (alot from the top). Does that mean I need to water it more or is it possible root rot? not sure which way to go as both ways haven't helped.
I saw one of these at my Lowe's today and wanted to get it but I wasn't sure how to care for it. Now I'm planning on going back tomorrow and getting one. Do you suggest terra cotta or ceramic pots for this plant?
I have two and they are both outside. Live in zone 9 and they are both under patio covers
I don't get why it's cheating to buy a developed plant instead of starting with a cutting or seeds.
Well, I just want to be realistic. I don't want people to think it got that big growing it indoors for a small amount of time. If I remember, I try to share how long I've been growing the plant, etc. in the conditions that I'm growing it in, so that people get a sense as to what it looks like and what they can learn from it...
I just got one yesterday, can you please share how to propogate it?
🌿👍🌿
❤👍👍👍👍
can you pant this plant with a cactus plant?
Do these do well in shallow wide pots?
Do u water in winter
inherited a planting from my brother, but it has yet to flower. Have had it for at least a couple of years. What do I need to do to help the flowering process?
I’d say more light and gentle fertilisation
Love it!
Soooo beautiful!
I have a similar plant, which I’d previously misidentified as R.Baciffera, however once I moved it to a higher light window, it started producing leaves all over. I now assume it to be a member of the euphorbia family, as it also exudes a milky sap when broken or abraded.
There are definitely euphorbs and cynanchum that look an awful lot like jungle cacti!
