Rhipsalis ID help

10 years ago

Hi there,
I picked up a small Rhipsalis today but I don't have much information about it. Can anyone tell me what kind of Rhipsalis this is?
I would like to repot it asap, the soil is extremely dry so I misted the surface soil a bit tonight. What would be the best soil mix to get?
I put it approx 1 ft in front of a window with a sheer curtain on it. The window gets a few hours of late afternoon light and the curtain will be shading it all the time. Will this arrangement be ok? I have other places I can put it so moving it isn't a big deal, just don't want to give it too much light.

So what do you guys think?

Here it is in the spot by the window. Also put a toilet paper roll in there for a size reference.

Hi,

Seems your info. isn't quite right. This is not a Rhipsalis at all (which is a tropical cactus).

This a a kind of Jade (Crassula) either a Hobbit or Gollum, a succulent, not a cactus.

Pls. water it sparingly only 'til you've had a chance to read up on the plant & its care.

Short version, get C&S mix, add abt 50% perlite & give this plant the sunniest spot you can, it wants maximum light after gradual exposure pls.

Unfortunately Exotic Angel can mislabel their plants sometimes.

Jades love sun, so as PG suggested, give it as much sun as you can. I doubt you can give it "too much."

Wow, alright then exotic angels...
I bought it thinking it needs low light. So i will move it to the sunniest spot I can find. A south facing window would be great, unfortunately there is a GIGANTIC pine tree infront of ALL of our south facing windows. Anywho, thank you for the info! I will definitely be more careful next time. :)
