Epiphyllum Guatmalense 'Curly Locks Cactus'
This tropical cactus really stands out with its curly, bright green stems! Like most cacti, it likes its soil to dry out between waters, but it likes much higher humidity than its desert cousins since it is adapted to a rainforest climate, so make sure it's nowhere near a radiator! These plants can also flower once they reach maturity, so keep an eye out for buds. Flowering will be more likely if you give it a proper dormancy period in winter (letting it rest so it isn't growing the same rate all the time).
Pot size: 14cm
Height: 30cm
Care advice and additional information
Water - Water when soil is totally dry, then water throughly allowing the excess to drain out the bottom of the pot.
Sunlight - Keep in a spot that receives bright, indirect sunlight.
Feeding - Feed once a month during spring and summer months.
Toxicity - Pet safe
Packaging
All plants come in a plastic nursery pot and Kraft compostable brown paper bag. Plants can be wrapped in coloured Kraft paper (black, pink or green) for free but by request beforehand to prevent wastage. All plants will include a care card.
