Back to buying optionsRhipsalis Collection – 9 Live Unrooted Cuttings | 3 Varieties 3 Each | Tropical Forest Cactus | Trailing Epiphytic Cactus Collection
Start or expand your tropical cactus collection with this assortment of 9 live Rhipsalis unrooted cuttings. Rhipsalis are fascinating tropical epiphytic cacti prized for their unusual stems and graceful trailing or cascading growth habit.
Unlike many desert cacti, Rhipsalis naturally prefer bright filtered light, higher organic matter, and somewhat more consistent moisture. Their cascading stems make them especially attractive in hanging baskets, elevated planters, shelves, and tropical houseplant displays.
You will receive 3 different Rhipsalis varieties with 3 cuttings of each variety, for a total of 9 live cuttings. Varieties are grower's choice and selected from healthy mother plants currently available in the nursery collection. The names of the selected varieties will be included with your order.
Cuttings measure approximately 2–6 inches long depending on the natural growth characteristics of each variety. Because these are living plants, stem size, shape, thickness, and coloration will naturally vary.
You will receive:
✔️ 9 live Rhipsalis cuttings total
✔️ 3 different Rhipsalis varieties
✔️ 3 cuttings of each variety
✔️ Approximately 2–6 inches long
✔️ Freshly taken from established mother plants
