Rhipsalis elliptica, a lesser-known but enchanting species of the Rhipsalis genus, is admired for its unique trailing growth and delicate, segmented stems. This cactus is perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, where its cascading form can be showcased. Here’s a detailed description and care guide for Rhipsalis elliptica:
Description
Rhipsalis elliptica features thin, flat, leaf-like segments that are soft and slightly elliptical, hence its name. The segments are a bright green color and can develop a reddish tinge when exposed to higher levels of sunlight. Unlike many cacti, Rhipsalis elliptica does not have spines. It may produce small, white flowers that are followed by tiny, round fruits.
Care Guide
Light
Rhipsalis elliptica thrives in bright, indirect light. It can adapt to lower light levels, which makes it suitable for indoor environments. Avoid direct sunlight, as intense sun can scorch its delicate segments. A spot near a north-facing window or a little farther from an east or west-facing window is ideal.
Water
Water this plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Rhipsalis prefers consistent moisture but is susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Ensure that the pot has good drainage and allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant’s growth naturally slows.
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for cacti and succulents. The mix should contain components like perlite, coarse sand, or orchid bark to ensure adequate drainage while still retaining some moisture.
Temperature and Humidity
Rhipsalis elliptica does well in average room temperatures, ideally between 18 to 24 degrees Celsius. It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from extremely cold temperatures. This plant enjoys high humidity but can adapt to lower humidity levels typical of most homes.
Fertiliser
Fertilise every month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced, water-soluble fertiliser. Reduce fertilisation to every other month or stop altogether during the autumn and winter when the plant is not actively growing.
Pruning
Pruning is generally not necessary but can be done to maintain shape or remove any dead or damaged segments. This helps to keep the plant healthy and looking its best.
Pests and Diseases
Rhipsalis elliptica is relatively pest-resistant but keep an eye out for common indoor pests such as spider mites and mealybugs. Regular inspections and wiping the segments with a damp cloth can help prevent infestations. Treat any pest issues promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Rhipsalis elliptica is an attractive and easy-to-care-for plant that makes a wonderful addition to any indoor plant collection. Its trailing growth and lush, green segments can add a touch of softness and natural beauty to your living space, perfect for softening the edges of shelves or hanging in baskets.
