Product description
Latin Name: Epiphyllum Oxypetalum
A Few Words: Epiphyllum oxypetalum is referred to as the princess of the night or queen of the night and is a type of cactus. It blooms rarely and only at night, and its flowers wither before dawn. The stems are erect, ascending and profusely branched. The flowers grow in flattened stems and are 30 cm long and 17 cm wide, as they are nocturnal and very fragrant.
Light: We choose a bright place and places that are not directly hit by the sun's rays. On the contrary, the intense midday and especially summer sun can cause irreparable damage to the plant.
Water: The epiphyllum needs very careful watering, as it dehydrates and dries up in case of a lack of soil moisture, while in conditions of excessive moisture, its root system rots. It is important that the soil where we plant the epiphyllum has good drainage.
Temperature: It is sensitive to frost but also to high temperatures. Ideally grow at 10 to 25 ℃
Fertilization: It does not have high requirements for fertilizer and nutrients, like most cacti and succulents. Apply a liquid fertilizer for cacti and succulents from late winter to fall.
Last Tip - Prompt: Can withstand light indoors but away from heating sources.
