How to fertilize Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How do I get it to thrive? This is my second one, I cant get it to grow well. Feels like its gotten smaller! It gets good morning light in a NE window. I water only when very very dry. I admit I havent used fertilizer but I should start soon.

Have you ever seen this? It is a #HairyStemmedRhipsalis and it just has one ball which is coloring from brown to red. First I thought it was a new leaf, but it stays this big. It is also not blooming, because that looks different. What else could it be? #NewGrowth #BloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #HappyPlants

What Is This Plant? Hi! So a few years ago, my mom got a piece of my grandma’s (her MIL) plant. My grandma (Dona, the woman behind the name of the plant 💜) died two years ago and it’s extremely important to my mom to keep that plant alive for my dad. The thing is, what we were told it was and what Greg says it is are two different plants. My aunt, (dad’s sister) said this was a Pencil Cactus. Greg said it’s a Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis. I agree with Greg. What do you guys think? The plant is doing just fine, I just wanted to know what it is. Thanks, y’all! #PlantID

Someone gave me this plant rescue, it had been neglected. I gave it a good soak and left it alone in a north facing window. I'm watering it every 2 weeks like the app says. It seems sad. Will it bounce back, should I give it a haircut? Ideas appreciated #Rhipsalis
