Plant Care Guide: Rhipsalis
Rhipsalis // Rhipsalis Micrantha
This stylish succulent is an absolute showstopper, making the Rhipsalis a perfect pick for someone looking to add some interest to their space. Bright, indirect light is where this beauty thrives, but this happy little houseplant can also do well in medium light. And this easygoing gal doesn't mind if you forget to water her once in a while, in fact she prefers to dry out almost completely between waterings - perfect for plant parents on the go.

Keep your plant pal nourished and supported with a good quality plant food like We The Wild Grow Concentrate and We The Wild Support Pellets. These powerful plant essentials will keep your plants happy, strong and resilient, and will reward you with new growth a'plenty!
These beauties thrive in humid conditions, so you can give them a mist every so often, and don't forget to wipe down those leaves when they're looking a little dusty. You can also spray with We The Wild Protect Spray every couple of weeks to keep leaves looking lush and healthy.
Follow the recommended advise on watering above - if unsure, a Moisture Meter could be your secret weapon! This handy tool will show you exactly how dry your soil is to avoid any over or under watering fails.
To ensure your new bestie gets enough drainage, we recommend keeping them in a nursery pot and displaying in a cover pot. If you do want to pot up your plant, make sure your decorative pot has a drainage hole and you've removed the plug.
This houseplant hun doesn't need to be watered as frequently as some other indoor plants, making her an excellent choice for plant parents on the go. And don't forget to give her a spin every so often to ensure even growth.
