Rhipsalis pilocarpa
HAIRY STEMMED RHIPSALIS
Rhipsalis pilocarpa lives up to its common name of Hairy Stemmed Cactus.
Because the rounded, dark green stems are covered from top to toe with silver hairs.
Plus starry, double white, fragrant flowers blossom at the end of each stem. Adding greatly to such a soft and attractive look and scent.
Rhipsalis pilocarpa also has a very appealing growth habit.
The multitude of stems first grow upwards when new, but then cascade over to form a rounded fountain shape as they lengthen to flowering.
The Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis makes a very decorative hanging basket for indoors, or on a sheltered porch.
So, place your Rhipsalis in shaded conditions, out of striking distance of any direct sunrays which may burn the attractive stems. But in a position with good light levels.
It is not frost hardy, so keep your Rhipsalis in a protected location.
And keep it consistently moist but not wet through the summer, while keeping it slightly drier in the winter.
Rhipsalis pilocarpa revels in summer humidity, so it really appreciates being misted from a sprayer during hot or dry weather.
Quality fertilizer, such as Powerfeed, can be applied in spring and autumn.
We recommend to water in with Seasol at planting. Then follow up with Seasol foliar feeds to strengthen plant growth, health and resistance.
A splendid specimen for an eye-catching hanging basket or decorative indoor container.
Rhipsalas pilocarpa can be shipped to all states from Di’s Delightful Plants - one of Australia’s largest on-line nursery and mail order plant services.
