4" Epiphyllum Queen Of The Night (Orchid Cactus)
Epiphyllum oxypetalum, commonly known as Queen of the Night or Orchid Cactus, is a stunning epiphytic cactus appreciated for its large, fragrant flowers that bloom nocturnally. Here are care instructions specifically tailored for Epiphyllum oxypetalum: 1. Light: Epiphyllum oxypetalum prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location where it receives bright, indirect light for several hours a day. Protect it from direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. 2. Temperature: Keep your Queen of the Night in moderate room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C) during the growing season. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in winter but should be protected from drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C). 3. Watering: Water Epiphyllum oxypetalum regularly during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when you do water,
