How to fertilize Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is this a Problem? Hey plant buddies!!👋🌱🪴I just got this cute Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis last night and I’ve never in the past quarantined my plants because I frankly don’t know where or how to do that.😅 But this cactus has one of those wood sticks in its pot that I pulled out and when I looked closely and long enough I could see at least 3 different kinds of tiny bugs on it. Is that normal or should I pull her away from my plants and quarantine? In the past my room did get infested with those tiny red bugs because a friend had given me a plant straight from outside. And I another time a think a new plant had spider mites in it because I also was infested with those at one point. But I’ve just never quarantined my plants🤷🏻♂️ thank you for the help!!🫶🫰🏻🪴

Meanwhile, young Coral has almost doubled in size since arrival a few weeks ago. Very pleased, though dreading the inevitable repotting. #whatthesuccwednesday

What Is This Plant? Hi! So a few years ago, my mom got a piece of my grandma’s (her MIL) plant. My grandma (Dona, the woman behind the name of the plant 💜) died two years ago and it’s extremely important to my mom to keep that plant alive for my dad. The thing is, what we were told it was and what Greg says it is are two different plants. My aunt, (dad’s sister) said this was a Pencil Cactus. Greg said it’s a Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis. I agree with Greg. What do you guys think? The plant is doing just fine, I just wanted to know what it is. Thanks, y’all! #PlantID

Easy to tell when it needs water. It looks droopy and then perks right up after you water it! I killed one with mold once, so just make sure you have a well draining pot.

She’s a cutie. I have mostly leafy plants otherwise, so I like that this one’s shoots have a different texture and mix it up. Very curious how big she’ll get...
