This exclusive epiphyte of Brazil’s forests, highly prized among air-garden enthusiasts, is a true masterpiece of living nature, distinguished from other rhipsalis by its generous, delicately lace-like architecture. The plant’s greatest pride, magnet, and unmistakable signature is its breathtaking foliage: from the main stems, \u003cb\u003ecountless tiny, densely branched, fleshy shoots in a rich emerald green arrange themselves in a full clump, visually resembling delicate strings of coral branches or “needles”\u003c\/b\u003e. When mature, the rhipsalis may delight you with delicate, airy white flowers that bloom along the edges of the shoots. ‘Mesembryanthemoides’ forms an exceptionally dense cascade that brings a light, modern, and cozy atmosphere to your home. It is currently a beautifully established, strong, notably dense, bushy, and stable \u003cb\u003e15–20 cm\u003c\/b\u003e plant in a generously sized \u003cb\u003e12 cm\u003c\/b\u003e pot.

It needs plenty of filtered light (it will particularly enjoy gentle morning sun). \u003cb\u003eStrictly protect it from direct, burning midday sun\u003c\/b\u003e, which can quickly scorch its delicate shoots and cause them to turn yellow.

Rhipsalis prefers consistent, light moisture in the soil, but it does not tolerate having its roots sit in stagnant water. \u003cb\u003eWater the plant thoroughly, but only when the top layer of soil (the upper 1 cm of the pot) has dried out between waterings.\u003c\/b\u003e The soil in the pot should be pleasantly moist, like a wrung-out sponge. Since the plant is in a 12 cm pot, it will retain moisture well, but it \u003cb\u003eabsolutely cannot tolerate its roots sitting in stagnant water\u003c\/b\u003e in the saucer, which can quickly cause the shoots to drop and lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Since this is already a nicely established plant in a stable 12 cm pot, it is strong and will not require immediate repotting for some time. When you repot it in the future, ABSOLUTELY use a \u003cb\u003elight, peat-based, porous, and well-draining houseplant, epiphyte, or cactus potting mix\u003c\/b\u003e with a generous addition of perlite and pine bark to provide the roots with oxygen and prevent water from accumulating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Augi-Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55174945145161,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/0252\/1918\/files\/FullSizeRender_0f77cfa7-d289-415a-8d61-c512e52dba24.heic?v=1788081993","url":"https:\/\/www.augi-plants.fi\/en\/products\/rhipsalis-mesembryan","provider":"www.augi-plants.lv","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
