Epiphyllum pumilum common name is the Orchid Cacti is a flowering, epiphytic cacti that produces amazingly beautiful and fragrant, large white flowers in summer to autumn.

 

They really need to be suspended in hanging baskets to see them at their best to allow the flat stems, that start erect, to hang down as they gain weight.

 

The stems are smooth and self-branching with the flowers bending upwards as they open.

 

These are plants that like it warm, humid and shady. Keep well watered and do not let dry out in summer but back off the watering over winter.

 

Comes in a hanging pot 21cm

Good To Know

Bright, Indirect Light

Loves being in the spotlight. Thrives on attention. Just not direct sunlight, that’s where it draws the line. We’re glowing, not grilling.

How not to kill your Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum pumilum)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum pumilum). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

Choose a bright position with filtered or indirect light. Protect from harsh direct summer sun. Only use lower light where the individual plant’s care profile says it is tolerated.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Humidity: High

Keep away from drying radiators. Where this plant benefits from higher humidity, use a humidifier or suitable room conditions with ventilation. Routine misting is not a substitute for lasting humidity.

Memento Top Tip

This is a forest cactus: filtered light and regular moisture suit it better than a hot, bone-dry windowsill.
