❗LOOK!!❗Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience. 3.5" pot, Succulents, Succulent Name: Rhipsalis sulcataScientific Name: Rhipsalis sulcataFamily: CactaceaeProduct DescriptionThe perfect succulent for hanging baskets, or planters that are tall or off the ground. The Branching stem shaped leaves grow quickly, and love to hang down once they get long enough. Like other Rhipsalis they also grow small white berry like fruits, that are filled with seeds that can be planted. Easy to care for, in the wild they can often be found growing on the surface of trees so soil and watering requirements are minimal. Find somewhere warm with a fair bit of light and it’ll be alright.Origination: Brasil Recommended Uses: Ornamental Height: 3-6ft (1-2m) (Trailing) Hardiness: USDA Zones 9+ Fruit Color: WhiteGrowing Instructions: Moderate light, Low water Care for Rhipsalis sulcata is fairly straightforward and follow basic succulent care guidelines. Bright indirect sunlight works great for indoor locations, and dappled or filtered sunlight is perfect for growing outdoors. A light well-draining soil does best; Allowing the soil to completely dry out between watering avoids over-watering and symptoms of root rot. Avoid freezing temperatures, anything near 32°F (0°C) is detrimental. Cuttings can easily be re-rooted and the seeds from the berries will readily sprout.Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my duty to get you a live healthy plant- a few broken leaves or small stems not counting as this is normal. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. I will accept some returns, however, since a shipped plant cannot be returned in its original condition, I can only offer a 50% refund. We take great care in packaging our plants and problems have been VERY rare.Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: https://www.ebay.com/itm/146333255563 ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter.  Basic care instructions are included with your order. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for any extra advice you may require. We want you to be successful with our babies!  And if you have any questions about this item or others, please message me and I will gladly answer them.

Name: Oblong Rhipsalis

Scientific Name: Rhipsalis oblonga

Family: Cactaceae


Product Description:

An elegant, epiphytic cactus forming long, slender, flattened stems that drape and branch freely, creating a soft, cascading silhouette. Stems are typically oblong to strap‑shaped, with smooth margins and a gentle arching habit. Color ranges from bright green in shade to a deeper, richer tone in stronger light.

Growth is airy and layered, with stems dividing irregularly to form a loose, fountain‑like mass. Mature plants may produce small, white to pale yellow flowers along the stem surfaces, followed by tiny, translucent berries. The overall effect is delicate and fern‑like, despite being a true cactus.


Origination: Native to tropical regions of Brazil; typically epiphytic in forest canopies

Height: Stems commonly reach 12–24 in., trailing longer with age

Hardiness: Protect from frost; prefers warm, humid conditions

Flower Color: White to pale yellow; small and star‑shaped

Other Names: Oblong Mistletoe Cactus (informal)


Growing Instructions:

Provide bright, indirect light or filtered sun to maintain healthy, vigorous growth. Use an airy, fast‑draining substrate suited for epiphytic cacti, and water regularly during the active growing season, allowing the mix to dry lightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged dryness. Benefits from moderate humidity and gentle airflow.

 

Ships in 3.5" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
