This plant is part of our 'Home Grown Propagations & Cuttings' collection, please visit this page for more information.
Rooted in sphagnum moss in an 8cm diameter nursery pot.
Also known as the 'Shark Tooth Cactus', the Epiphyllum Chrysocardium or 'Fernleaf Cactus' has thick, wiggly prominent leaves. You might also be interested in our Fishbone Cactus which has thinner, more prominent curves in its stems.
This funky plant is the perfect easy care addition to your windowsill collection.
Once the stems grow long enough, they will start to hang down under their own weight. You can thicken the plant out but cutting it back & propagating the stems - your plant will also branch out from wherever you cut it!
Please be aware, these plants bruise very easily and are likely to have a couple bumps from delivery - be patient and there will be plenty of new growth in no time.
Care:
Light: Bright indirect light will promote the best growth. Older plants can withstand direct sunlight.
Water: Only water once the soil is completely dry then give a heavy water. When the leaves wrinkle, that's a sign that it's ready for watering.
Food: Not a requirement but if you choose to; use a light cacti fertiliser.
Humidity: Will thrive in a normal home humidity but will also tolerate dry air.
