The cactus grows in low soil media, such as orchid substrate.

You can also plant it in cactus blend mixed with compost to enrich the medium.

Rhipsalis Cruciformis thrives in indirect light and cannot tolerate periods of bright sun.

Like most cacti, Rhipsalis Cruciformis does best when allowed to dry out between watering.

During winter, cut watering in half and then reinstate when spring growth begins.

Fertilize with a water-soluble cactus or orchid fertilizer in early spring.

You can place your plant outside in spring and summer but do not forget to bring it in when temperatures cool.

Best of all, the cactus will stand some neglect, so do not worry about it when you go on vacation.
