My apologies for this inconvenience. Cactus, night blooming cereus, Cactus Arrangements, 3″ potted plant, Cactaceae, Outdoor GardeningName: Night Blooming CereusScientific Name: Epiphyllum oxypetalumFamily: CactaceaeThis climbing perennial cactus is best positioned somewhere visible at night, as it flowers nocturnally, only for one night, and the flower wilts before morning, and you won’t want to miss seeing it. The flowers it produces are pure white and fragrant, and it will also produce an edible fruit although the fruit itself isn’t very large. This is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Epiphyllum, and for good reason, easy care and beautiful flowers make this an excellent houseplant.The plants known as epiphyllum hybrids, epiphyllums or just epis, which are widely grown for their flowers, are artificial hybrids of species within the tribe. In spite of the common name, Epiphyllum species are less often involved as parents of Epiphyllum hybrids.The parent species from which epiphyllum hybrids were bred are different in appearance and habit from most cacti. They are found in the tropical forests of Central America where they grow as climbers or on trees as epiphytes Hylocereeae, particularly species of Disocactus, Pseudorhipsalis and Selenicereus. They have leafless (or apparently leafless) flattened stems which act as the plant’s photosynthetic organs. Relatively large flowers are borne on the sides of the stems; in many species they open at night.Origination: Central AmericaHistoric Uses: OrnamentalHeight: 1-2 feetHardiness: zones: 10Other Names: Ephiphyllum, Climbing cacti, orchid cactiGrowing Instructions:Sun to Partial Shade/Light Shade (protect from direct sunlight)Average watering needs, but take care not to over waterMore info:They are fast growing plants.

Epiphyllum, Orchid Cactus, ‘Ric Rac’, Ephiphyllum hybrid, Cactaceae, 3in potted plant 

  

Name: Orchid Cactus ‘Ric Rac’ 

Scientific Name: Epihyllum anguliger 

Family: Cactaceae 

Other Names: fishbone cactus, rickrack cactus, zig-zag cactus,  

  

This epiphytic cactus has long, flat, zigzagging stems that resemble fish bones, hence its common name. The stems are typically green and fleshy, allowing them to store water. The plant produces large, fragrant, night-blooming flowers that are white or creamy in color. These flowers can be up to 8 inches (20 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) across, and bloom for just one night, typically opening after sunset and wilting by the next morning, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. This ephemeral beauty makes it a special sight to behold. They open at night and attract nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. Epiphyllum anguliger is native to the rainforests of Mexico. It grows attached to tree trunks and branches high above the forest floor, thriving in the humid and shaded conditions of the rainforest canopy.
