      Used to help run a cactus nursery in the 80's ; seldom if ever came across Rhipsalis !
      The white fruits are interesting ; have you ever tried raising plants from seed ?
      Yours looks very healthy !

              I was sure I'd clicked 'like' for these photos last year. I suppose I must have done it wrong :smile:

              Mine is back in the greenhouse now. I'm going to take cuttings of it in the summer.
              Do you get berries on yours @Victoria ?
