Rhipsalidopsis

Hola Everyone

I bought a Rhipsalidopsis (otherwise known as an Easter Cacti) - I would like to know what size this plant will grow to, I am planning on planting under my fig tree as they like filtered sunlight so the fig should be ideal, however, I cannot find a general idea of how big I should expect to see this grow over the new few years.

Thanks for any advice you can give me :)

They can get to as much as 3 feet across if the conditions are right and with age. Most people grow this as a container plant in California, as it needs a very fast draining mix with excellent drainage that also retains moisture. As they naturally grow in trees in habitat, they seldom do well planted directly into the ground, where they can rot out in winter with the cool rains of a Mediterranean climate.
