Notes

'Monstrosa' orchid cactus (Epiphyllum hookeri 'Monstrosa') is a succulent for containers, patios, and houseplant collections. 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. Its twisted, spiraled leaves look interesting all year. It is not a heavy bloomer, but it is easy to grow.

Pairs well with Birkin philodendron, Manjula pothos, and Bamboo palm.
