EPIPHYLLUM OXYPETALUM, Night Blooming Cactus

An easy to grow and bloom cactus that gets really big, pure white, fragrant flowers. The flowers appear in the summer time and they open up at night and are closed back up before sunrise and they only last for one night. Fortunately, they appear in succession. The flowers are dinner plate size, white and have a distinct fragrance. The Night Blooming Cactus needs bright shade conditions, drier winters and moist summers. Fertilization is also average, less during the colder months and more during the warmer months. Freezing temperatures should be avoided. The plant does not have to be big to bloom. A 10" - 14" pot with a trellis should be enough to make the plant happy and see flowers.
