Epiphyllum Chrysocardium -Fern Leaf Cactus
Epiphyllum chrysocardium, also known as the Fern Leaf Cactus, is a striking, rare epiphytic cactus with deeply lobed, sculptural foliage that gives serious Jurassic jungle vibes. Unlike desert cacti, it’s native to humid rainforests and thrives in warm, bright indoor conditions.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light. Too much direct sun, and you risk scorching the leaves. Can handle the morning sun (think East facing window), but the afternoon sun may be too much for this beauty.
Watering: Water when the soil is almost fully dry, and don't allow it to sit in water.
Temperature: 15-28C is ideal.
Potting: These plants like a chunky mix, similar to their natural habitat. Our Super Chonk is a great choice for this species. Or we sometimes like to mix our 1 part airy ariod to 1 part super chonk in order to minimise the frequency of watering needed.
Hot tips: This beauty flowers! But its a special treat when it does as the blooms only last for 24 hours and are only fully open at night.
