Epiphyllum 'Michelle Davis'
check_circle In Stock
Epiphyllum 'Michelle Davis' is a hybrid orchid cactus appreciated for its bold and vivid flowers. Like other members of the genus, it produces flattened, segmented stems adapted from forest species native to Central and South America. The blooms are large and star-shaped, with petals in intense shades of magenta to bright pink, often with lighter highlights near the throat. The flowers open widely and are typically produced in the warmer months, standing out against the green stems.
Care Tips
- Light: Best in bright, indirect light; protect from strong midday sun.
- Water: Keep the soil lightly moist during growth and flowering, allowing slight drying between waterings; reduce in cooler months.
- Media: Grow in a coarse, well-draining mix with added organic matter for root health.
- Fertiliser: Apply a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer, switching to a potassium-rich blend before flowering.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions; protect from cold below 10°C.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years to refresh the medium and provide space for new growth.
