2" white blooms are born in profusion on this easily grown cactus-like plant with 1.5" wide, flat, scalloped branches to 3'+. Great in hanging baskets. Hybrid Orchid Cactus typically open at night but often last well through the next day. Epiphyllums are one of the few true jungle Cacti where they are often found growing with the orchids and bromeliads far removed from the forest floor. If pollinated the flowers can mature into deliciously edible fruit.
