The epiphyllum oxypetalum, which is also called the “Queen of the Night” cactus, is a perennial that can grow to be up to 10 feet tall. It grows in hardiness zones 10 and 11, and it is a succulent plant that uses other plants for support.

These plants are unique because they bloom for one night, and they fill your home with a sweet smell that you will notice right away when you wake up.

In this guide, I have established some tips that will help you grow this plant. It is not difficult to grow, but it may take some time to bloom.

1) Growing

This is a plant that grows quickly in nature. It is a species of jungle cactus that can be found in parts of Mexico, Central America, and South America. It does not have leaves, the foliage that you see from the plant is actually modified stems that will help store water in drier conditions.

2) Light Requirements

This is a plant that is designed to grow in the shadier parts of the jungle, which means that you will not want to give them too much direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the afternoon. They do need some sunlight, though, or the flowers will not be able to bloom properly. If you have a location in your home that has excellent indirect sunlight, this is going to be a great location to grow it. It will do best in temperatures that are between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures that are too low should be avoided as well as areas with vents where drafts can be found.
