Epiphyllum (Orchid Cactus) Identification and Blooming Tips

Epiphyllum cactus plant

Orchid cactus (Epiphyllum)

Expert Rick identifies the plant as likely Epiphyllum species (orchid/leaf cactus). Flowering requires seeing the bloom structure for precise ID. Care for blooming:

  • Light: Bright location, not necessarily full sun all day.
  • Watering: Critical—water by weight. Pot should feel heavy after watering; rewater only when considerably lighter and soil surface light-colored. Morning watering on sunny days. Err on dry side in winter.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, avoid cold drafts.

Succulents rot easily if kept too wet.
