What is this tiny cactus?

Post by geochem »

Hi everyone,
I recently got this cactus at a local garden store. It was just labeled "Tropical Plant" which of course is not very helpful. People on Reddit suggested either Rhipsalis sp. or very young Hylocereus. I think it's probably not Hylocereus because the stems are square in cross-section, but I could be wrong about that and I otherwise have no clue what this is. It's about 5 cm tall. If you have any ideas, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Looks like a Rhipsalis, but hard to nail it down.

Agreed. Some juvenile form of Rhipsalis. It will grow elder and obtain specific features then will be possible to ID.

Maybe Rhipsalis dissimilis.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Okay, thanks everyone. It sounds like this cactus (or group of cacti) will get significantly larger...
