There are over 35 different species of this plant, so Rhipsalis can come in all different shapes and sizes!      Bright, indirect light. Afternoon sun can burn the tendrils so it is best to keep it a couple of feet back from the window. Semi shade as it will also tolerate low levels of light.Rotate your plant periodically to ensure even growth on all sides and dust the stalks often so the plant can photosynthesise efficiently.      When your Koki is light and not hard give it a good soaking, as per Koki                 Care instructions.
