The Easter cactus, also known as ripsalidopsis, is one of those plants that will definitely add charm to any interior.
Its exotic origin from Brazil makes it an attractive decorative element, especially in spring.
Similarities and differences with the cedar
Plant lovers often confuse Easter cactus with the riparian cactus, the popular Schlumbergera. Although the two plants look similar most of the year, they differ in terms of flowering time.
Ripsalidopsis blooms with colorful flowers around Easter, while the riparian cactus delights at Christmas.
Growing Easter cactus
Although ripsalidopsis is not demanding in cultivation, the key aspect is proper care. The plant prefers bright, but not direct light and moderate watering. By providing these conditions, we can enjoy beautiful, colorful flowers every spring.
Easter cactus – the perfect plant for your windowsill
Easter cactus, also known as ripsalidopsis, is a plant that can easily decorate any windowsill. Its cultivation is not complicated, but it does require certain rules to provide it with the right conditions for growth.
Suitable place in the house
First of all, the Easter cactus needs a bright, warm spot. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn delicate stem segments. Temperature fluctuations and drafts can also harm this plant, so it is worth avoiding places close to window openings.
Keep an eye on the humidity
In summer, the cactus can be placed on a balcony, but it should be protected from intense sun and wind. In winter, when the air in rooms becomes dry, it is recommended to regularly mist the plant or humidify the air. Proper care conditions will ensure that the Easter cactus will bloom beautifully and decorate our interiors for many years.
