Rhipsalis micrantha is a species of epiphytic cactus native to tropical regions in Central and South America, particularly found in areas like Brazil. Rhipsalis prefers to dry out between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during the winter months. Being native to tropical areas, it appreciates higher humidity levels, so consider misting or placing it near other plants. A well-draining cactus mix is ideal, or you can create a mix with regular potting soil and perlite. Rhipsalis micrantha is often used as a decorative houseplant due to its unique appearance and easy care requirements. It can also be incorporated into terrariums or used in hanging planters to showcase its trailing nature.
