My Rhipsalis sulcata was left in a corner in the living room that didn't get any sun. I thought they liked bright light so i put it (sulcata) & capilliformis in a bright window & then outside.It seemed to go down hill even more & that's when the spots started showing up on it (sulcata),leaving me thinking it was sunburn.They are both now living in a sunny window inside.
Now the capilliformis has the spots and the sulcata really looks bad I'm loosing it.Since it went from one plant to the other maybe it's an insect problem. I've never dealt with scale wondering if that's what it is since i don't see any bugs.The tips are drying up and dying not getting mushy like a fungus or mold.


Here's the sulcata, i hope it's clear enough it is almost a silvery color on the stems

Sorry about fuzzy pictures!! MS keeps my hands from slightly to tightly balded up!

here's the capilliformis


it doesn't go all the way around the stem, i tried scratching it off,it damages the stem but will come off.


This plant is a quarter of it's original size.Should i take cuttings & start rooting?

thank you for any help!!! Hope i wasn't to long winded!!!!
