Spring is here and it's a great time for planting!
It's also a busy time and sometimes we ship faster than we can update our website.
So if we are out of a product, we will contact you and ask for a substitution.
This doesn't happen very often.
It helps though if you add your phone number to the notes section of your order.

Updated April 30, 2012Lepismium cruciformis
| Lepismium (Rhipsalis) cruciforme, an epiphytic cactus native to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay, forms very angled, segmented stems that have tufts of white hairs at the joints. Stems become suffused with lovely purple in bright light or drought. Branches profusely to form pendant hanging basket. Flowers are satiny pale pink, followed by bright pink fruits. Similar culture as for Orchids. Porous soil with extra humus. Prefer balmy warmth, ample airflow and bright, filtered light. Water thoroughly when soil is dry, allow to dry less than for desert cacti. Prefers nighttime temperatures no cooler than 50 degrees Fahrenheit, especially in the winter, and daytime temperatures to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Protect from frost. this plant turns a beautiful color burguny/red when in the sun. |
