Hello everyone! This is my first post on this forum so please correct me if my formatting isn't correct.

I just got what was sold as rhipsalis sp., and I'm not sure what rhipsalis it is. It grows similar to a hylocereus but it's stem sections are short and grow like a typical hatiora or something like that. Almost like an oversized Hatiora Salicornioides.

Anyways, I figure it's probably impossible to ID until it flowers so I'll post the photos for now of the plant and then come back later if I can get it to flower.

Not sure why the stems are round and plump, but the rest screams hylocereus/now selenicereus.
That being the trigonal segments with white edges on the ribs. And the spines.

Hello Stefan!

That's exactly what I thought. Although the small stem segments separated by the skinny stems is what's throwing me off. But I don't know I'm definitely not an expert on either selenicereus or hylocereus.

The nursery I bought it from specializes in rhipsalis/lepismiums and they couldn't figure out what it was. I couldn't pass this up lol. Hopefully I can get this thing to flower and post the pictures here.

Looks like a Selenicereus that is overwatered and light starved? Rhipsalis, lepismium, and hatiora are smaller plants.
