Rhipsalis campos-portoana is an attractive epiphyic cacti with fine, light green trailing stems. It has small white flowers that bloom in spring, followed by orange fruit.
As with most Rhipsalis, it does not do well in full sun. Position her where she receives morning sun and afternoon shade. Sufficient light is required in order for it to flower. Plant in a well draining mix of organic compost, bark and/or perlite. Water regularly, watering when the top of the soil is starting to dry out.
