Notes
'King Midas' orchid cactus (Epiphyllum 'King Midas') is a succulent for containers and xeriscapes. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. Its large palest peach flowers have stripes of light tangerine orange and outer petals in coral red. It is easy to grow and bloom.
Pairs well with African mask, Harlequin pothos, and Genova dahlia.
