Rhipsalis paradoxa subspecies septentrionalis

[@schreix27]

I'm so happy that you've started posting regularly again! Your videos are such a great resource.

Thank you! It’s always nice to hear they are enjoyed! 💚🌱

They way you described the smell of those blooms is right upy alley!😮 Gotta have it.. it's also just beautiful. Kind of reminds me of the silhouette of some of those mobiles that hang over a baby's crib? Lol, that's the only thing I could think of in the moment 😅 but I love it😂❤

[@EpiphyticCacti]

That is a perfect description! If you are in the US I saw some plants/cuttings for sale on eBay, I would suggest getting the plant over the cuttings it’s the source mine came from.

@@EpiphyticCacti thanks for the tip off!! I do prefer getting Rhipsalis that are already rooted as I'm definitely still a Rhipsalis novice and typically have some issues rooting them without rotting the stems🤦🏻‍♀️ I usually have to re-root a few times (which I've had to do with my baccifera and my paradoxa) I finally decided to grow them outside for the summer and they're loving life out there! Whew!😅❤️

Perfect timing I just got my first paradoxo just about a week ago!🎉 I just came across a 6-inch basket with five big cuttings for $17 at small local Greenhouse😁

[@EpiphyticCacti]

Awesome! It’s such a wonderful species and a great statement piece!

Thank you for what you're doing. Your channel is the best one about epiphytic cacti on YT.

Thank you for another super informative video! Would you say that even when grown under the same conditions, R. paradoxa ssp. septentrionalis will have looser/longer "chain links" than R. pacheco-leonis ssp. catenulata?

[@EpiphyticCacti]

In my experience yes, but I think it’s easy to distinguish them because R. paradoxa has determinate branch segments and R. pacheco-leonis doesn’t.

@@EpiphyticCacti Oh, right, I forgot about that! Thanks.
