*Epiphyllum oxypetalum* is a well-known epiphytic cactus often called the “Queen of the Night” for its large, fragrant white flowers that open at night. It produces long, flattened green stems that can climb, sprawl, or cascade depending on how it is grown. Native to tropical forests, it grows on trees and rocks where it receives filtered light and high humidity. While it can become quite large over time, it is hardy in cultivation and highly prized for its dramatic blooms.
