The Pink Starburst Cactus: A Vibrant Epiphytic Delight

Epiphyllum 'Vivid One' is a truly captivating cactus that will add a touch of vibrant colour and exotic charm to your plant collection. This fascinating hybrid is prized for its stunning pink, starburst-shaped flowers and unique epiphytic growth habit.

Distinctive Features

  • Stems: Flattened, segmented stems that resemble leaves. The stems are typically a bright green colour and have a waxy texture.
  • Flowers: Produces large, showy flowers in a vibrant pink colour. The flowers have a beautiful, open shape resembling a starburst and a delicate fragrance.
  • Growth Habit: This Epiphyllum has a pendant, epiphytic growth habit. It naturally grows on trees and other surfaces, using its aerial roots to cling to the bark. It can also be grown in hanging baskets or on shelves where its stems can cascade gracefully.

Care Tips

  • Water: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During the flowering period, keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
  • Humidity: This Epiphyllum appreciates moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by using a humidifier, placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, or misting the stems regularly.
  • Temperature: Maintain warm temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid exposing this cactus to cold draughts or frost.
  • Fertiliser: Use a diluted cactus fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Potting: This cactus can be grown in a pot or mounted on a piece of bark or cork. Use a well-draining epiphytic potting mix.
