How to Care for Your Coral Cactus — Complete Guide
Unlike desert cacti, Rhipsalis is a jungle cactus that prefers bright indirect light and slightly more moisture. Water when the top inch of soil is dry — roughly every 1–2 weeks. Use a well-draining aroid or epiphyte mix. Loves humidity and benefits from occasional misting. Feed monthly with a diluted liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate stems.

The plant did not arrive in great shape. However, it was an alocasia and I did not add insulation so this is not on the seller (and we all know alocasia does not travel well anddddd they come back)
From start to finish the transaction was amazing. They gave me a discount for my next order even though I didn't ask for one because I knew the risks, and they continued to answer my questions and help me! Will def order again from them and would encourage others to as well!
