Easy to grow and care for. Night Blooming Cereus ( Queen of the Night, Orchid Cactus) This plant is very easy to care for. Treat just like a cactus. Keep the plant in either partial or indirect sunlight. It can be grown outside in a well-draining pot, or as we prefer, under a tree, against a fence or wall with a well-draining cactus soil blend. Very Large pure WHITE flowers, (actual flower as shown in photos) open as soon as the sun goes down and stay open all night, then close up again by morning. They are a beautiful sight and also a heady experience because of the intoxicating fragrance. It blooms in waves during the summer months, with usually many flowers opening at once. Nature's ability to manifest such a magnificent creation leaves us in awe of this wonderful epiphyllum. As for all members of the Orchid Cactus family, a period of dryness and cool nighttime temperatures in the winter ensures summer bloom. Also important to note that you must wear gloves while planting & handling this cactus plant as it does have tiny thorns on stem. Orchid Cactus can ship out 2 DAY FEDEX anywhere in the USA for $25.67 - I can get up to 3 plants in the box for same price with FEDEX. If you prefer to save a little on shipping and wait a little bit longer to receive, Orchid may also ship USPS. Price depends on your location.
