Origin
The Rhipsalis ramulosa 'Red Coral', better known as the Red Coral cactus, traces its origin back to South America, and particularly Brazil. This tropical plant belongs to the cactus family, often growing wild on tree trunks in rainforests.
Characteristics
The Rhipsalis ramulosa 'Red Coral' is characterised by its striking elongated, red, and fleshy stems. The plant has small white flowers that grow in clusters at the ends of the stems. The Rhipsalis ramulosa 'Red Coral' is an epiphyte, meaning that in nature, it grows on other plants or trees without extracting nutrients from them. This unique growth habit is reflected in the hanging cultivation process of the plant in domestic conditions.
Care
The Rhipsalis ramulosa 'Red Coral' doesn't require much care. The plant needs well-drained soil and moderate water - too much water can cause root rot. The Rhipsalis ramulosa 'Red Coral' grows best in indirect sunlight, but can also thrive under misty conditions in the absence of light. The plant is not frost-hardy and needs to be moved indoors when temperatures drop below freezing.
