Is it ok to mist this plant once in a while? #Rhipsalis

It’s Saturday afternoon here on west coast! How’s everyone at #TheWateringHole today? 😊 Had a great morning catching up on plant projects. 1️⃣ on my list was to make a succulent arrangement with this darling bird planter. I planned on putting 2 lithops in it but it’s too shallow for the 2” pots. So baby succulents instead!! Kinda inspired by Barbara @BEsucculent 🎉 thank you for your recent posts!!🙌 👶 🌱. As they grow I can transplant to deeper pots. Or just let this one overflow 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 😊 Also on to-do list was 👀 an outside Hoya compacta. It’s been a bit sad looking. Discovered sooty mold in his little twists & turns 😳. So he got a good scrubbing 🧼 🧽 🚿 as did the Goldfish plant and the planter they were on. The rhipsalis on the planter seems fine 👍. The 3 are drying off, catching some afternoon rays 🌞 with the donkey tail, Maxillaria and RicRac cactus!🥰🫠💚. How’s your Saturday going?? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HoyaHangout #GoldfishPlant #Rhipsalis #SucculentSquad #OrchidLovers #CactusClique

Slowly dying Rhipsalis :( I’ve tried to grow this guy in a pot a few times and every time it slowly goes brown. Does anyone know why or have any tips? #Rhipsalis

Here is Mochi (Rhipsalis Pentaptera) Is this the correct name? #rhipsalis #cactusclique #cactus #cacti #cacti #cacticollect #succulentlove #plantid

What's this? I admit, i'm a #proplifter. But what's this plant i proplifted from? I was thinking Rhipsalis, but the leaf arrangement and stem colour didn't seem right. Or is it one of those pencil-leaved Hoyas? Someone help #identify this. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewPlants #Propagation #PlantID #Rhipsalis #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads

Cactus propagation? **Reposted to include photos** 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 photos). 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

Rhipsalis Pilocarpa #Rhipsalis @everyone I received this as a gift Internet states it's a Rhipsalis Pilocarpa It's flowering I have to wipe it off to remove the web My question is Greg says it's a Hairy Stemmed but my research just shows Rhipsalis Pilocarpa and the pic in the search shows mine. How can I change it on the app?

My birthday is tomorrow and my boyfriend wanted me to open my gifts early 🥰 I love the turtle planter I can’t wait to use it for an arrangement. He also got me a variegated ‘string of hearts’, an airplant, ‘gold tip Rhipsalis’ and a bunch of new terracotta pots! I can’t wait to use the turtle planter 🐢 he knows me pretty well I would say 🤭 #SucculentLove #StringOfHearts #SucculentSquad #HappyPlants #Rhipsalis

Cool looking hanging succulent I’m trying to train into a living shower curtain under a skylight.

You can neglect this plant and it will bounce back.
Water when soil begins to dry out and that’s it !
