Rhipsalis oblonga is a semierect to pendent, epiphytic or lithophytic shrubs, 2.50 m long, with main stems terete at base becoming flattened above and branching apical or lateral. It is a very free-flowering species with pinkish-white fruits.
Exposure: Partial shade.
Watering: It requires ample summer water (more than other cacti), but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Soil: These cacti won't want a normal cactus soil but will prefer to be in a soil largely composed of organic material, such as peat or sphagnum moss, This type of soil would normally be used for orchids, bromeliads or other epiphytic plants.
