Starter Plant Rhipsalis ramulosa which is one of my favorite and eye catching hanging basket plants. This Red Rhipsales is part of the cactus family but has not prickers. It is a very fast grower and will eventually have to be divided as it out grows even a 12 inch pot. These 8 inch hanging stems produce tiny white ball like blossoms that are a wonderful contrast with the bright red stems which appear in the fall. Water well during the growing period, and sparingly in winter.
