Rhipsalis paradoxa is very sensitive to wet soil, so choose a potting soil that drains very well and doesn’t retain too much moisture. A good soil will have lots of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. A few handfuls of perlite added to regular store-bought cactus soil will do the trick!

It’s common for Rhipsalis paradoxa to go dormant in the wintertime and you may notice their growth slow down. Waterings should be spaced out more during this time.

Rhipsalis paradoxa is native to Central, South America, and the Caribbean.

Rhipsalis paradoxa produces flowers in the wild, but does not flower when kept as houseplants.

When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.

Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.

Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.

Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
