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.  

We think you will love this Rhipsalis paradoxa – order your very own chain trailing cacti today and start enjoying its beauty in no time!

Comfortable, Colorful, Soft, Affordable.
Size: Large, Color: Ice Blue, Number of Items: 1
These T Shirts are as good as it gets especially at the price point. All cotton, very soft, very colorful. Wash well. If you don’t want them to shrink, I suggest air drying them. I had an XL one for years and pretty much ignored it. Found it again and it’s amazing to wear to bed or around the house. At These prices if you need or want a T shirt, this is the one to get.

The Perfect Tee Shirt
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Number of Items: 2
I bought one of these shirts to see if they’re as good as the customer reviews suggest. They most certainly are! They have a nice weight, a great fitting collar, and the shirts have a generous length so they stay tucked in. The sleeves are longer than normal tee shirts, which I really appreciate. These shirts are such high quality, and such an amazing bargain, that I bought four more!

Comfort Colors T-shirt sizing is inconsistent from shirt to shirt
Size: Large, Color: Denim, Number of Items: 1, Size: Large, Color: Denim, Number of Items: 1
Do a search in the reviews of these T-shirts using the word “inconsistent” and you’ll see others have similar comments to mine. With almost 27,000 reviews on these shirts, not sure if anyone will even see this review, but here we go. I have about 5 Comfort Colors T-shirts that I got in the past year; all are size Large, and they fit great in the body and neck with nice soft cotton, and they are fantastic T-shirts. I recently ruined a denim-colored Comfort Colors T-shirt using Spray-n-Wash on a couple food stains on the chest; the Spray-n-Wash faded the blue color in the treated areas. No worries, I’ll just order a replacement shirt…. I decided to order two replacement Comfort Colors T-shirts with one being blue jean-colored and the second being a denim-colored T-shirt. Both are blue with blue jean being slightly lighter blue than the denim, but I decided to order two since I like these T-shirts so much. The blue jean shirt arrived and fit great and is just like all my other large Comfort Colors shirts, and it’s a keeper. However, the denim shirt I received was too small: it was tight in the chest, the body was shorter, and the sleeves were shorter. I have attached two photos with one showing this new denim shirt on top of the shirt I ruined with Spray-n-Wash and another showing this new denim shirt on top of an orange Custom Colors shirt to show the smaller size of the new shirt. The neck-size in the new denim shirt I received was fine, but the shirt was noticeably too small in all other dimensions. I immediately ordered another denim-colored shirt hoping to get a “correct size” shirt, and the second denim shirt arrived the next day, and it was also smaller in all the dimensions exactly like the first denim shirt I had just ordered. All three of these new Comfort Colors shirts (one blue jean and two denim) and the denim shirt I ruined with Spray-n-Wash were sold and delivered by Amazon (i.e. none were third party vendors). I’m returning both of the too-small denim-colored shirts, and I’ll live without that color and enjoy my new blue jean shirt. As another point of reference, I purchased a pepper-colored Comfort Colors T-shirt from a third-party vendor on Amazon about 11-months ago in November 2024, and the neck on the pepper shirt was too large and gave the shirt a stretched-out and worn-out look even though the shirt was new. A third attached photo of the pepper shirt next to an orange Custom Colors shirt and shows the neck size difference. I messed up and didn’t return the pepper shirt within 30-days last year, but since I never wear it due to the way-too-large neck opening, it’s going to Goodwill. Ordering these shirts from Amazon as the seller has been hit or miss and doesn’t guarantee a consistent fit, and ordering shirts from a third-party seller on Amazon didn’t work out well when I did it in November 2024. So, I’m not sure what the lesson is here other than the sizing of these shirts is inconsistent; when the sizing is correct they're great, but ordering them online and getting correct sizing can be a PITA. It’s a bit of a hassle to have to take them to a UPS Store or other location to return the shirts if they don’t fit well, but at least if you order through Amazon Prime, the returns are free.
