Aporophyllum 'Edna Bellamy' is a captivating epiphytic cactus hybrid known for its vivid, large red-orange flowers. This cultivar, developed through crossings involving Epiphyllum species, originates from plants native to subtropical forest margins in Central and South America. It is especially prized for its abundant 10 cm wide blooms that emerge in spring and early summer.

Distinctive Features

  • Vibrant floral display: Striking red-orange flowers measuring up to 10 cm across, with a soft gradient and prominent central stamens.
  • Trailing stems: Flattened, leafless stems that arch gracefully, making it ideal for hanging baskets or elevated displays.
  • Epiphytic nature: Grows naturally in tree canopies, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and debris.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, filtered light; avoid harsh direct sun which may scorch the stems.
  • Water: Water thoroughly when the top layer dries out; reduce frequency in cooler months.
  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally during dry weather.
  • Media: Use an airy mix designed for epiphytic cacti—blend cactus soil with perlite and fine orchid bark.
  • Temperature: Ideal range is 10–25°C; must be protected from frost.
  • Fertiliser: Apply diluted cactus or orchid fertiliser every 2–4 weeks during active growth.
  • Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound; shallow pots are best suited.
