Description
Queen of the night. Epiphyllum oxypetalum
You have to stay up late to enjoy the opening of this extraordinary cactus, which is shaped like a majestic waterlily. If you are an early riser and usually early to bed – this plant is not for you! The queen of the night cactus flowers between dusk and dawn – for us she is the highlight of the party season.
White sweetly scented circular-shaped flowers with narrow petals adorn this nocturnal flowering species. Growth is flat and long with spineless branches that are modified stems. These become pendulous and drape, perfect for hanging pots. Flowers are large, white and fragrant. They like morning sun, light or filtered light, but dislike the hot afternoon sun and they leaves will tend to yellow in this position.
