Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis can be propagated by the stem method. To propagate:

• Make a cut just above the node. The node is the break in the stem where the leaf emerges.
• To get the cutting to root, you can either:
  
  • Place the cutting in water until roots emerge and are ~2” long and then transplant into well-draining soil, or
  • Place the cutting directly into well-draining soil and water when dry.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
