Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum) 4” pot

Orchid cacti are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. This epiphyte exhibits striking, flat, and wide stems that often grow long and trailing. An orange/red tint can develop with light exposure. The stems are fleshy and segmented, with distinct notches or lobes along the edges. They typically emerge very light green and darken and harden with time. When mature and provided with sufficient conditions, orchid cacti can produce large flowers.
