Rhypsalis burchellii. Can somebody help me with this little guy? It’s loosing more and more branches. I put it in a warm living room, no change. I out it in a cooler room, nothing. I’m watering it about once a week and the soil dries in between.

    I’ll go for over-watering. It’s cactus. The compost shoudl be bone dry before watering. Also make sure there is some grit in the compost to aid drainage

    Wife is a flower lady and she says watering once a week is toooo much. Once every other week if even. Is your pot draining properly? Or retaining too much water?

    Thank you. I thought I did let the soil dry but maybe not. I repotted it into some dirt mixed with some orchid bark stuff and I’ll water it less. In a few weeks I’ll know if that helped.
