Epiphyllum crenatum forma
Crenate Orchid Cactus
Description
Epiphyllum crenatum forma, often referred to as the 'Crenate Orchid Cactus', is a unique epiphytic cactus prized for its spectacular flowers. The plant features flattened, leaf-like stems that can grow long and cascading. Its most remarkable feature is its large, fragrant, night-blooming flowers, which are typically white or creamy-white in color. These flowers, with their delicate petals, open in the evening and emit a strong, captivating fragrance. Epiphyllum crenatum forma thrives in partial shade and requires a well-draining potting mix. Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. For propagation, you can take stem cuttings, allowing them to callous before planting.
