Fernleaf Cactus (Selenicereus chrysocardium) 3.5”pot

This epiphytic cactus is native to Mexico and exhibits unique spineless, slender, flattened, leaf-like stems with a pronounced, serrated edge, hence its name "Fernleaf." This jungle cactus is also known for its large, ephemeral night-blooming flowers. 

CARE:

• Allow the first 1/2 -3/4 of the soil to dry before watering 
• During the peak summer months,  keep the slightly moist but not soggy so water when the top inch of the soil feels dry.
• During the dormant period in late fall and winter, reduce watering.
• Allow the soil to dry out more between waterings.
• Humidity is appreciated but not essential. 
• When repotting, ensure a well-draining soil mix.
