Rhipsalis floccosa usually hang from the branches of the big trees jungle canopy and has many slender segment branches 4 to 10 mm in diameter and sometimes in whorls. It is similar to subspecies pulvinigera but with green stems without red coloring, and larger fruits that are red or white and to 10 mm in diameter. The stems have woolly areoles when young but soon becoming naked.
Exposure: Rhipsalis floccosa do best in a light to partially shaded location without too strong sunshine. Ideal locations are east or west-facing windows. South windows are also suitable, but the strong sun must be significantly weakened by curtains or shade of others plants.
Humidity: A high humidity, about 50 to 70%, is very beneficial for this species. At a sufficiently high humidity, this cacti develop healthy and develop magnificently, as long as the other care needs are sufficiently fulfilled.
Soil: A nutrient-rich, humus-rich substrate is used.
Water: During the active growth in spring and summer, the plants should be watered evenly. This cacti must never be completely dry out. Cause this epiphytic growing cacti are very sensitive to lime, you should only use soft water. It is best done with clean rainwater. If don't have this, you can soften the tap water with a water filter. In winter, this cacti are watered moderately.
Fertilizer: To support bud formation, these cacti are fertilized every 14 days. Use mineral fertilizers diluted in half. Once a part of the buds have opened, stop fertilizing. Too much fertilizer is harmful to the plants.
