Just
I never let mine dry out completely.
The danger of that is the core can become damaged after a certain point without water and lose the ability to transfer water down the length of the tendril. When that happens they just rot from the bottom and if you try to prop above they typically fail because their core cant deliver water.
I have about 15 different kinds - all in terra cotta with a loose mix.
I water them just before they dry
They're all in bright indirect light with little to no direct light.

I have a rhipsalis salicornioides. It grows upwards and gets barky stems/branches with the shorter stems that are softer growing outwards. It's in need of a haircut now, as it's grown to about 30-40 cm tall and about 45cm wide
I agree with you that it doesn't like to be fertilized a lot.
Great video, thanks for sharing

Hey there.
Great video.
This plant has been on my wish/want list, so I think I'm gonna give one a try.
I have to admit, I got a little excited when I saw a new uploaded video from you.
Thanks for posting.

I don't believe I have ever seen that plant anywhere. If it got 20 feet long, would it still be just as thin? I'll have to look it up; because, I have other questions. Thanks for sharing the video.

I have a lepismium Bolivian and rhipsalis paradoxa. How do you propagate these? I've had a couple of tendrils come away from the plants. Can they root? If so, water or soil? Thanks

Actually, R, bacciffera is native from tropical America to Africa to Ceylan. It is the only cactus considered to be native to anywhere other than the Americas.

I tried this and terracotta dries the plant out to much. Stay with small plastic pots and shady areas.
