Abstract
A unique ornamental epiphytic cactus Rhipsalis baccifera has a segmented dangling plant structure. This plant has a tip of the shoot that has a beautiful reddish color. Determining the best cutting number segment and media type executed in this study. This experiment used a randomized block design with two factors and four replications. One and two cutting segment is the first factor. Planting media type, i.e., rice-hull charcoal, rice-hull charcoal + zeolite, rice-hull charcoal + chopped ferns, and rice-hull charcoal + pumice was the second factor. The percentage of rooted cuttings at 100% and the growth percentage was 96.85%. No interaction was found between the two factors. For the best cuttings growth, we could cultivate this species using two-segment cuttings or using rice-hull charcoal + chopped fern as media.
