*Epiphyllum oxypetalum*, también conocido como la reina de la noche, princesa de la noche o cactus pipa de holandés, es un cactus nativo de México y Nicaragua. Es conocido por sus flores nocturnas, las cuales se marchitan antes del amanecer. A continuación, se presenta una descripción general de la planta: Tamaño y crecimiento. En la naturaleza, puede alcanzar una altura de hasta 3 metros (10 pies) y extenderse varios metros a lo ancho, con tallos que superan el metro (3 pies) de longitud. Cuando se cultiva en macetas o jardines, suele ser de menor tamaño.
Rooting Environment: Place the pots in warm, bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh afternoon sun as it will scorch the stems.Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but never waterlogged during the rooting process. Overwatering will cause rot; use a spray bottle to keep the surface damp rather than watering deeply every day.Humidity: These tropical cacti appreciate higher humidity; mist them periodically or use a humidifier.Rooting Time: Cuttings should develop roots and new growth in about 6 weeks.Long-Term Care for Mature PlantsLight: Provide bright, indirect light, similar to their native habitat in treetops.Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry before watering again, increasing water during warmer months and reducing it in winter.Soil: Use a very loose, well-draining mix (equal parts orchid bark, perlite, and potting soil).Fertilizer: Use a balanced or low-nitrogen fertilizer during the spring and summer growing season.Blooming: They prefer to be slightly root-bound to produce their massive, fragrant nocturnal flowers.
I will pack your plant as carefully as possible to ensure it arrives safely. The plant will be shipped without its pot and with very little soil to keep shipping costs down, as I am charged based on weight.
Empaquetaré su planta con el mayor cuidado posible para asegurar que llegue sana y salva. La planta se enviará sin maceta y con muy poca tierra para mantener bajos los costos de envío, ya que se me cobra en función del peso.
