Rhipsalis ramulosa ‘Red Coral’ is a striking epiphytic cactus that stands out for its long, flat, and cascading stems that can blush a vibrant red when exposed to bright light. Native to tropical forests, it offers an elegant, almost sculptural look that works beautifully in hanging baskets or on shelves where its trailing growth can be admired. Its unusual form and colorful foliage make it an eye-catching choice for both plant collectors and anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their space.
Caring for Rhipsalis ramulosa ‘Red Coral’ is relatively simple, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned plant lovers. It thrives in bright, indirect light but will tolerate lower light conditions, though the stems show the best color with more light. As a tropical cactus, it prefers regular watering during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and less frequent watering in winter. A well-draining mix is essential, and occasional misting helps replicate the humidity of its natural environment. With a little care, this plant will reward you with lush growth and brilliant coloration.
