My favourite easy-care alternatives to hoya - jungle cactus and dischidia! 

Beautiful jungle cactus！ thanks for sharing 😊

The 2nd plant you showed is a queen of the night cactus. I have one just like it. It has beautiful flowers.

I had multiple of the thanksgiving cactus that all struggled except one. The one went wild in its spot and looks like a fountain.. the others sadly all went away. I would eventually like to find one of the variegated like ferns. I may have to look closer at dischidia varieties. Thanks for bringing a spotlight to these, they do not seem to get much of the spotlight.

Here is some additional unsolicited rhipsalis information (coming from a fellow rhipsalis lover): In addition to being epiphytes, many jungle cacti are also lithophytes, meaning they grow on (epilithic lithophytes) or in between rocks (endolithic lithophytes). Another cool thing about jungle cacti is that they do not have leaves. Instead, they have phylloclade's, which are stem like structures on a plant that can also photosynthesize. Since most rhipsalis grow under a forest canopy in their natural habitat where the leaves of trees deflect most of the rainwater, rhipsalis have adapted mechanisms to help limit water loss and overcome drought. Some of these include shiny "leaves" (formed by a wax-like cuticle that prevents water loss) and glaucus stems (used to store water in periods of drought).

So sorry for the thrips. Good luck. Thank you for sharing these plants. I have been thinking about adding dischidia!

Thx for a great video 😊 love the variation of plants 🌱 sry for the thrips but good you noticed it, so you can treat it before it get worse 👍😊

Your fishbone cactus is stunning!

I hope if you can do a video on everything about the semi-hydroponic that used for your plants... the fertilizer and maintenance to keep healthy roots... I need your experience to begin this method for my plants

🥰😍👍👍🌿🌿

my dischidia million hearts flowers every year, and because the flower buds don’t bloom at once, in fact it’s flowering like all year round with nearly no stop😅 that’s pretty annoying actually. It doesn’t smell good, and it has many nectar even after it fades. I have to constantly clean up my table underneath it every day because of non-stop falling fading flowers 😅

I have all three varieties. Both the Thanksgiving & Christmas cactus are schlumbergera (pronounced shlum-ber-gee-ra) and the Easter cactus is a rhipsalidopsis. I also have a variegated Thanksgiving one in a south window & it has totally reverted to green 😞

Have you made a video about using benificial bugs. I would love to see that.

Sorry for the thrips😢 i had thrips too😊

The jungle cacti you showed is a pseudo rhipsalis rambulosa. Spelling forgiveness please

Hope you got your thrips situation resolved… Just found your channel… greetings from NY… 🪴🌞🪴
