8" Epiphyllum

Epiphyllum (Orchid Cactus)
Epiphyllum, commonly known as Orchid Cactus, is a striking epiphytic cactus prized for its long, flat, trailing stems and spectacular oversized blooms. The flowers are often fragrant and appear in bold shades of white, pink, red, or yellow—sometimes opening at night for dramatic effect. Elegant yet low maintenance, Epiphyllum adds a lush, tropical feel without the spines of traditional cacti.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun
💧 Water: Water when the top inch or two of soil is dry; more regular watering than desert cacti
🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temps (65–80°F); cooler nights can encourage blooms
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes

Fun Fact:
Epiphyllum are epiphytes in nature, growing on trees rather than in soil. Their spectacular blooms can last only a few days—but the show is always worth the wait. 🌸✨
