my entire rhipsalis collection + rhipsalis Q&A, propagation and wishlist!

it's been a long time comin but i finally made a dedicated video about rhipsalis! i'm actually so happy that rhipsalis popularity has been increasing over the last year or so, and even happier that plant shops are catching on and finding ways to bring some really cool ones in to the local market! i have a pretty humble collection, but thought it would be fun to show you ten rhipsalis i'm currently growing, talk in depth about their care, things i've learned and also how i propagate them! that was one of the most frequently asked questions i got so i talk a bit about how to do it successfully and even do a little chopping on camera. i also answer a few rhipsalis FAQ's and share a few on my wishlist that i'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed i'm able to acquire in the near future!

[@QuietTurbulence]

Love rhipsalis and you definitely have been a big enabler! Such an underrated genus of plants.

[@alinab8659]

You probably already know of this nursery but if youre ever in Sacramento again i highly recommend checking out Flori-Culture Tropical Nursery. The owner of that store is extremely knowledgeable and is super friendly, you can tell he truly loves his job. He has a great selection of hoyas and rhipsalis. I found the rhipsalis floccosa there last week!

[@tonyabrown39]

❤Beautiful plants! Ive been acquiring Rhipsalis over the last year. Love them so! Thx for the tips!

[@dc3516]

i love Rhipsalis and this video was so helpful! I am lookingg forward to growing the ones I have and adding more TYSM

[@aub_k2819]

I LOVE rhipsalis and am so excited you're doing this video! You were the one a while back that put them on my radar. But this past summer I bought a cutting package deal from a local collector of rhipsalis. I rooted them all in chunky mix and I love them so much! And I love your videos so much too! I look forward to them always! ❤ edit to add that the end part where you talk about propagating is so awesome and helpful! There is so little info about this, especially on the KZbin! I bet people will be watching/ searching this video for yrs to come!!!!!

[@Myzenliness]

You are the one who made me want a rhipsalis..lol. I found a sad one, got a discount and have loved it ever since.... growing up nicely 💕 Thanks for the inspo🎉

[@thespottedleaf584]

I have mine growing in my tent. Bright light and 70% humidity. They have all started flowering and producing berries recently! I'm excited to play with the seeds!!

[@charlygodwin]

25:46 hatiora salicornioides needs more humidity than others, it might recover under glass.

[@unplantparenthood]

oh no way! i never would've even thought humidity. now i'm not sure if i want to keep it because the chances of me growing this in high humidity all the time is probably quite low. 😖

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

I became interested in rhipsalis because of you talking about them! They're super cool and I'd like to add at least one to my collection someday!

[@kyrad6543]

I have a friend who owns a nursery and he was surprised that I wasn't growing any rhipsalis so he gave me a rather large paradoxa over the summer. I grew it outside all summer and it was quite happy. It's inside now and since then I have acquired three other varieties micrantha f. tonduzii, boliviana, and rauhiorum (although one of my friends told me this one is the same as boliviana). I want the hoelleri, the agudoensis and that paradoxa minor that you have!

[@harestyles]

Your Wednesday uploads are so very appreciated! In the middle of the week, the constant daily grind, you brighten my day and make the week bearable. I don't have any rhipsalis, they aren't common at all where I live. I will have one one day though! Influenced by you of course! 😂

[@aplantprocess]

Loved seeing your collection and the photos of others. Your care tips and fun facts are truly appreciated. Thank you for another great video.

[@Purrs_and_plants]

I love your rhipsalis collection, one of my fave genres. I have a large paradoxa minor and a small mesembryanthemoides. I’m on the hunt for more but they are hard to find in the UK. Paradoxa is at the top of my list tho, those big links 😻 Love you pug monstera tee, so cute!

[@MeganGreenberg]

Paradoxa are everywhere here in California. But cannot find a paradoxa minor anywhere!!

[@Purrs_and_plants]

@@MeganGreenberg​​⁠​​⁠isn’t it strange how certain plants are difficult to obtain somewhere in the world but in abundance in other places. Rhipsalis of any kind is pretty difficult to find here in the UK and shipping outside of the UK is extortionate!!

[@JessNona]

You had me at rhipsalis, but love your videos in general so am a regular watcher. Part of my personal love of your channel is in the random plants in your collection. I have lots of the usual, but seek the oddities, I love my dead stick plant and flying octopus alocasias as example. I stumbled on some rhipsalis and love them, struggling to find ones on my wish list in the UK, fingers crossed spring gives some more varieties of this crazy genus.

[@victoriastewart7116]

This has been the most helpful video. I too struggle with the cuttings rotting so very much appreciated your propagating tips! Rhipsalis are the coolest plants! I only have 4 but excited to build a collection. Thanks for posting!

[@CMacAnneCheese]

I’m so excited for this video. My pilocarpa just recently flowered for the first time after having for a few years and I just about lost my bananas :) such a great little plant.

[@lisaanglim9588]

My paradoxa has died. Lack of light. I have moved around but not enough light. It’s shriveled up. Could have been lack of water.

[@carolstuff]

You have a beautiful collection of Rhipsalis. Thanks for sharing!

[@Chickysplants]

I love rhipsalis, I have the saliconoides and few more, mine does not like fertilizer, but loves the sun light, if you want to make it stop shedding give it plenty of light. Mines flower in winter early spring. Great vid like always!

[@yororo0820]

you've inspired me to pot my rhipsalis into no drainage, and they LOVE it. I love their tiny white fuzzy roots and the new growth is surprisingly charming. can't wait for them to start trailing because currently they're kinda just a bushy jar of green strands!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Thank you for this video. I love rhipsalis.

[@Shopgirl2731]

I have been acquiring just a few strands 😬. Very excited to learn how to grow luscious pots. Just watched great video! You answered my question. I’m not so brave to prop with one strand of a few but I’m going to pot them up together and see what happens! I’m determined to suntress and flower mine. That bell rhipsalis is now on my radar. I have a rhips sinculata recently

[@redlady3123]

❤

[@jessicaeberhart1914]

Yes! I have waited for this collection video as well. I have a few baby Rhipsalis that I'm going to 'patiently' (key word here) watch grow....now that I know it's a true slow burn LOL. Thanks for the video and the advice.

[@msireanu587]

What kind of soil did you used for this plant?

[@cliffcox7643]

I never find these for sale. Where can I get more and different varieties?

[@marthamiriam8983]

I love my philos and Pothos they have become my number 2 my number #1 is Rhipsalis. Rhipsalis in the mix just takes it to another level, just gives it the balance for the wondering eyes. I ENJOYED WATCHING THIS VIDEO. Girl keep talking💚!

[@kristiemowry3267]

I also love rhipsalis. I have the first one you showed in an East Window. It flowered over summer. I think I have another variety, but don't know for sure. Wish there names were easier, and they were labeled correctly. Anyway, They do remind me alittle of Dischidia. Love plants that you don't have to worry to much about. Haven't got any that cost alot. That is what usually causes me to worry about them...until I find that they are easy to grow. Thanks so much for this video. It is the only rhipsalis one I have ever seen.

[@vixistixi]

Great vid! Wish I’d have seen it yesterday. Xx

[@Anah-B]

Is your shirt a new merch tho? 👀

[@JanaRhoden]

Rhipsalis are so underrated!!! Mine hang in my shower and have grow lights on them. They flower continually.

[@Theodoresgranny]

I have an agudoensis that I got from Cactus Club. I have ordered three times from this company and they have been excellent. I also love Rhipsalis. I think Planthaven Toronto carries a few and only ships them in Canada. Thank you for sharing your experience. 🌱

[@theonyxblack]

Rhipsalis is one of my favorite genera, even though I only have the Paradoxa, lol. I'm hoping to collect some more, but it's hard to find nice ones where I live. I love your collection ❤

[@lisaanglim9588]

It’s very beautiful.

[@coffee2962]

I love rhipsalis ❤ They make the coolest hanging plants I was like there are jungle cactuses that trail?? Blew my mind when I first heard about them ❤ Also love them when you put them in like funky face pots 😂 In terms of flowering there seems to be varying opinions on it So far the ones that get a good temperature drop seem to be the ones that flower? But again not sure If you want cactuses for bloom then epiphyllum are definitely the way to go Their blooms are very showy and gorgeous It’s so funny that you mention floccosa it’s like you can find them easier and bigger in the UK Whereas paradoxa tends to be a little harder to find as a full pot Recently saw a massive pot of flocossa for like 20 dollars Definitely recommend it’s like having a thicker baccifera but it doesn’t do the branching and it’s like growing spaghettis 😆

[@leetingchin9216]

The paradoxa minor is a grandiflora here in Australia

[@dorcasostreserrano6649]

Hola vendes de esas plantas me interesaría soy de puerto rico

[@lisaanglim9588]

I think I have the same rhipsalis that you’re showing right now. It spends its life in my west facing window. It sits on the sill. I don’t trim mine at all.

[@MyLocsMyPlants]

literally just got a few and I can't tell them apart they're cute tho 😂💚

[@angelabalaban9893]

l really love rhipsalis ad started collecting them because of your videos. WE are here for more of rhipsalis videos besides aroid ones))

[@8888margaret]

Hi Charmaine! Have you tried just twisting a knucke instead of cutting near it?

[@8888margaret]

I own a salicornioides (got under your influence haha) and them knuckles just seem so twistable. I know some people propagate schlumbergera by just twisting a couple of segments off and since schlumbergera is also in a rhipsalis genus I figured it may also work. I need to run an experiment😅

[@liexclamationpt]

Pugstera Deliciopup!

[@lisaanglim9588]

I think it’s pronounced worm cast-ings

[@lisaanglim9588]

I love all the different types of rhipsalis. I only have two of them but they are prized. And they grow like weeds now. Maybe Ive cracked the code for at least these two.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Alien fingers is what it looks like. I think I’ve got that one. Mine only sheds when I seem to try and lengthen the amount of time between waterings.

[@gensgreenmagic6871]

Stems.

[@lindaedwards4632]

I didn’t realize you had so many rhipsalis types 😲

[@emoo2342]

Lord. Tell me why I just bought my first rhipsalis a couple of weeks ago-it was sold to me as mistletoe/baccifera. Not even 10 minutes into the video, I now know it’s actually a capilliformis.😂 Apparently the biggest difference between the two is that the capilliformis has more fine…lil’ bits? Idk. I feel weird calling them leaves as well.😅

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’ve never seen the paradoxa minor. I looked it up on Etsy and nothing. Always the straight paradoxa.

[@sikateako]

It is so hard to find Rhipsalis here in Singapore, i'm not sure why 😢

[@alexisstejskal]

That first Rhipsalis looks like Rhipsalis Ewaldiana!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Mine was labeled dancing bones. I didn’t realize it was rhipsalis for the first year until you showed yours.

[@bitesizebeck]

“I don’t have many just 10” girl 10 is a lot for just rhipsalis lol! 😂 Also I love that you included photos of them in their natural habitat. So interesting to see! Love that!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Capilliformis like capillary veins in your body, I get it.

[@lizaleaves]

“Before I show you the first one… “ Oh good she’s gonna address her shirt… oh. But seriously, thank you! Been waiting for this one! 🫶
