The stunning 'Rhipsalis paradoxa', is a vibrant member of the RhipsalisGo to search-results-page genus - also known as Chain cactus and link cactus. This fascinating trailing Rhipsalis is known for its chain-like leaves that appear as if they're connected together, giving it a truly one-of-a-kind appearance.  But don't be fooled by its unusual looks - this cactus definitely belongs to the Cactaceae family despite lacking thorns in most of its internodes.  

With a height of 12 inches and a width of 6 inches, this plant from Brazil is sure to turn heads and add drama to any space. But don't be intimidated by its bold appearance - this Rhipsalis variety is easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of environments.    

The unique feature of the chained cactus is its 3-lobed stem, which is divided into flattened elements growing on top of each other and creating elongated stems perfect for hanging pots in balconies or office rooms. And with shallow roots designed to anchor the plant to trees, this chain cactus spreads horizontally in all directions rather than deepening below ground level.   

Small white flowers are produced along the branches of the Rhipsalis paradoxa from late winter to early spring. It also yields red fruits that are not edible. It is always best to err on the side of caution and keep away from the children and pets.  

Keep reading to learn more about this stunning Rhipsalis paradoxa and how you can incorporate it into your own home or garden.  

Watering Needs 

The most important thing to remember when caring for Rhipsalis paradoxa cactus is to make sure it doesn't get overwatered. As overwatering can lead to root rot and damage to the plant.  

Watering this chain cactus should be done typically like other cacti, allowing the soil to almost completely dry out between waterings.  During the summer, you should water your cacti once or twice a month when the soil is dry to the touch, about 1-2 inches deep.  During the winter, you probably do not need to water them at all.  

 It is also important to use well-draining soil and a pot with good drainage to prevent water from accumulating in the soil.     

Light Requirements    

Providing enough light for these desert cacti is one of the most important aspects of their care. It is important to grow Rhipsalis paradoxa in areas that receive at least 4-6 hours of bright, indirect light every day to keep them happy. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves of this trailing Rhipsalis.  

If indoors, place your cactus directly in front of a west- or south-facing window with filtered light in a bright, shaded area. If they don't receive enough light, their stems may grow leggy and become paler, and their spines will shorten, so make your cactus happy and give it plenty of light.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil and fertilizers for your adorable cacti, you need to be extra cautious and need to use the right kind of soil.  In order to grow a cactus successfully, the soil must be fast-draining. Poor drainage soil, even if watered properly, could damage the roots.   

So, in this way, moisture can be a real killer, leading to root and stem rot in no time flat. But fear not, my fellow green thumbs! Planet Desert has got your back with our specialized cactus potting mix that includes organic mycorrhizae – perfect for promoting healthy roots and happy plants.   

When it comes to fertilizing your chain cactus, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in spring. Cacti prefer a fertilizer with lower doses of NPK, with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen.  

Hardiness Zones & More 

As desert dwellers, the Rhipsalis chain cactus enjoys hot temperatures. They prefer constant temperatures between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit and can tolerate triple digits in the summer, so don't worry if your cactus gets too hot.   

This cactus, on the other hand, cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 45 F in its environment.  If grown outdoors, this cactus grows best in USDA zones 10 -11.   

However, it can be grown indoors year-round in any location. This is because indoor environments typically provide consistent temperatures that are within the preferred range for this cactus and protect the plant from sudden shocks by temperature fluctuations.

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
