The Curly Locks Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum guatemalense monstrosa) is a uniquely beautiful plant. It is an epiphytic (grows on another plant but not parasitic) rainforest cactus native to Central America and specifically Guatemala. Unlike its name suggests, there is no relation to orchids. They are related to Christmas Cactus though. This plant doesn’t have leaves but rather flat curly and curved stems that are bright green. It can bloom in the right conditions and produces 3 inch wide flowers. It is slow growing and can reach 2-3 feet high and wide and is perfect as a hanging plant.
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry. Water slowly and evenly; discard excess. Keep it evenly moist but not wet.
Use a 10-10-10 fertilizer diluted weekly during the growing season. In February, feed the plant with a 2-10-10 to promote blooming.
