How to fertilize Rhipsalis clavata

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 Rhipsalis clavata after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Is it okay to repot my Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis this time of year? #Rhipsalis

Thank you to the #greggivesbackgiveaway as I was able to purchase a wishlist plant! Please welcome my Red Coral Cactus to my family. Really hoping to expand my cacti collection! #cactusclique #planttherapy #greggivesbackwinners

Cactus propagation? This cutting is from a Rhipsalis paradoxia cactus (wasn't an option on Greg), not an Easter cactus. I'm not sure if I'm propagating it correctly. It looks like there's a root growing in the water, but there's also one growing in the middle of the plant near the top (see photo). I've never propagated a cactus or any species that roots this way. Should I be propagating it in soil instead? *I realize I butchered it a bit with the wire, lesson learned lol

This plant seems sad. Any tips on what I should change? Some parts look crispy, and it has few parts that are vertical. #Rhipsalis #MistletoeCactus
