This "Curly Sue" Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum guatemalense monstrose) is a truly unique succulent that looks best hanging in a basket, allowing its curly "locks" to trail down the sides. Like its' other relatives, this Orchid Cactus is highly sought after for its incredible flowers. Seriously, wait until you see its blooms! While the flowers themselves don't last long, the plant produces 3-4 inch wide white flowers with 6-inch long tubes that only fully open at night.
Fun fact: in its' natural habitat, the Orchid Cactus are pollinated by moths and bats, night-time animals that are able to easily see the big white blooms!
Care tips: Provide lots of bright sunlight and water only when the soil is completely dry.
