Origin
The Rhipsalis burchellii 6/tray, also known as the 'Coral Cactus', finds its origin in the rainforests of South America. Naturally, the plant grows epiphytic, which means that it lives on trees and other plants without extracting nutrients from them. It uses the moist environment and the indirect light in the lower part of the rainforest.

Characteristics
Rhipsalis burchellii 6/tray is a thornless hanging cactus that belongs to the family of cacti. Characteristic are the slim, hanging branches that are plentifully covered with small, columnar segments. This plant can be easily identified by its unique texture, but also by its very small white flowers that often develop into red fruits.

Care
Although the Rhipsalis burchellii 6/tray is a cactus, it does not need the same care as most cacti. It enjoys a bright but indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can burn the leaves. This plant needs good drainage, so use a pot with holes at the bottom and a well-draining soil. During the growth period, it is advisable to keep the soil moist, but beware of overwatering. In the winter months, the plant appreciates the soil drying out a bit between watering periods.
