Rhipsalis pilocarpa are plants known to be jungle cacti as they won’t survive in dry, arid-like conditions as desert cacti can. Rhipsalis pilocarpa is a type of epiphytic cactus. An epiphyte plant is one that grows on another plant. However, this is not to be confused with a parasite plant.
Exposure: Shade, morning indirect sun
Water: Water when first ½ inch of soil is dry
Soil: Though Rhipsalis pilocarpa is part of the cacti family, using a cactus mix alone might not be optimally efficient for this plant. You can still go for these cactus mixes, however, to ensure proper drainage of soil, add in some gravel or peat moss. For a cactus that tends to need more watering than some cactus species that are self-sufficient with minimal watering, peat moss added into the soil would help the plant grow better.
