Epiphyllum Gaertneri

Epiphyllum gaertneri is a fascinating member of the Cactaceae family known for its striking, nocturnal blooms. Native to the tropical regions of South America, this plant thrives in warm, humid environments. Unlike typical cacti, it grows as an epiphyte, attaching itself to trees without deriving nutrients from them. Its large, fragrant flowers open at night, attracting moths and other nocturnal pollinators. This unique plant is both a horticultural marvel and a symbol of resilience in the plant world.
