Description: Hand Harvested Seeds Rhipsalis floccosa New Seeds for Season 2024! An interesting addition to any Epiphytic Cactus collection, that offers plants composed of long strands of 1/4" thick leaves. The neat foliage is adorned with small, creamy white flowers in late spring; followed by glistening white-pink fruit - adding interest later in the season. The fruit are sweet and tasty, and on a large adult plant, one can enjoy a few handfuls of fruit each season. Not often available as a plant, let alone seed! Grows to large proportions and makes a stunning specimen plant. One packet contains 15 hand harvested and cleaned seeds, ready for sowing. Detailed sowing instructions are included. As may be seen in the photo with the ruler, the seeds are very small. Germination begins in a few days and continues for a couple of weeks. The seedlings remain small for the first two years, with fuzzy, juvenile stems, after which they will begin to extend, and will lose the hairs and start to form the adult stems. Seed to flower takes approximately 5 years. Please note: The seeds are properly stored to keep them fresh and viable. Success in their germination is up to you - and will be achieved by carefully following the instructions included with your seeds. Sowing seeds requires cleanliness, practice and patience, and seeds frequently have specific requirements and pretreatments to aid in their germination. There is a learning curve. I say this because people frequently blame the seeds or the seller for a failure in germination, when, in actuality, it is generally because of the one doing the sowing... With that said, I wish you the best of luck with your seeds - if you have any questions about them, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you. I've been growing and collecting Epicacti for over 45 years and enjoy over 700 varieties in my collection. It would be hard to choose a favorite, but it would probably have to be the one that's right in front of me! All photos are of plants in my own collection - unless stated otherwise. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING - SORRY - I ONLY SHIP TO THE US. I do combine shipping for multiple items - please request a new shipping total before checking out.

Upon arrival of the seeds/cutting/plant, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I want you to be happy with your purchase and to have the greatest success in its cultivation! Robert
