Orchid Cactus 4"

Orchid Cactus

The Orchid Cactus, known scientifically as Epiphyllum, is a striking addition to any indoor plant collection. With its unique, flat stems resembling the petals of an orchid.

Typically characterized by vibrant blooms that can range in color from white to deep pink, the Orchid Cactus produces large, showy flowers that emerge during the warmer months. These blossoms are not only beautiful but also fragrant, adding a sensory dimension to your indoor environment. 

Light: As a member of the cactus family, the Orchid Cactus thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light. It is relatively low-maintenance.

Watering: Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, which mimics its natural habitat.

Fertilizer: This plant also benefits from occasional fertilization during the growing season, promoting healthy growth and abundant blooms. With proper care, the Orchid Cactus can live for many years, providing ongoing enjoyment and beauty.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, the Orchid Cactus is an epiphyte, meaning it can grow on other surfaces, such as tree branches in its natural environment. This adaptability allows for creative display options in your home, whether in hanging baskets or on shelves.
