Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months.

Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot in Rhipsalis species, so err on the side of caution.

Prune to maintain shape, remove leggy growth, or encourage bushier development. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners. Pruning can be done at any time, but is best done in spring before active growth begins.

Trimmings can be used for propagation.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days, then plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep lightly moist and warm. Roots typically form within a few weeks.

You can also divide established clumps during repotting.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before the active growing season commences.
