"Chain Cactus: The Perfect Houseplant for Low-Maintenance Plant Parents"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Guardian
The chain cactus, also known as Rhipsalis paradoxa, is a spineless plant with cascading green stems that can grow up to 50 meters long in the rainforests of Brazil. It can tolerate bright indirect light to partial shade and prefers warmer temperatures, making it perfect for a warm, humid bathroom or kitchen. Water it in spring and summer, allowing the compost to dry out between waterings, and reduce watering from mid-autumn to early spring when the plant is dormant. Feed only in spring and summer and avoid temperatures below 10C.
