Your premise is wrong and logic is faulty.

Rhipsalis are stem succulents that have no true leaves at all.

Have you bothered to consider that the person had misidentified your plant
as Rhipsalis teres and that it is actually an etiolated Rhipsalis
cereuscula? Who is this "expert" that identified your plant anyway?

Ok, I think I got it now. My teres looked just like that when it was
rooting. But I see in the pic that if it were teres, the newer leaves

would
be a little bit longer, and growing at a slightly smaller angle. If I

hadn't
just spent a half an hour comparing photos of the two, I'd never know

the
difference in such a young specimen.

Somebody must have misidentified your plant. It is a poorly grown

Rhipsalis
cereuscula.

It looks like a plant I have that was identified as Rhipsalis teres.
