Growing Instructions:
Moderate light, low water care, for Rhypsalis pachyptera 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; In the heat of summer they would prefer to dry out mostly, but not completely. In the winter dormant period, allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Avoid freezing temperatures. Anything near 32°F (0°C) is potentially life-threatening for the plant.

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.

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.
