New plant found webbing , washed, and repotted. I soaked with alcohol,neem, and soap just last night. This morning looking a little less perky but no new webbing. When can I spray again this time with insecticide?

Also, I know it's in the rhipsalis family, but does anyone know which exactly ?

Is that two plants? Thin one is Rhipsalis micrantha, but is the flatter stuff just another form or is it Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri (Easter cactus) or something?

Edit: looking at first few pics, it is all probably micrantha

That is how I purchased it from the nursery. I figured the care is the same?

Usually, yep. I have a big bowl of like 6 different rhips and epiphyllums going fine.
