For Sale - $20 each!
Well-established, healthy, rooted plants of Epiphyllum Oxypetalum (also known as Queen of the Night).

This is a hard-to-find night-blooming jungle cactus (soft lush green leaves, no spines, epiphytic). Suitable as a house plant, this does not require bright light. The Queen of the Night is valued around the world historically for it’s amazing giant scented blooms which open at night. These have been fed regularly and the leaves are strong and large.
