Epiphyllum pittieri 'Bits and Pieces' is an exquisite epiphytic cactus known for its sprawling, trailing stems and showy, fragrant flowers. Native to the humid forests of Central and South America, this cultivar is particularly valued for its intricate petal arrangements and night-blooming habit, attracting nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats.

Distinctive Features

  • Elegant Stems: Long, flat, segmented stems cascade beautifully, making it ideal for hanging baskets.
  • Spectacular Flowers: Produces large, star-like blooms in soft pastel shades, often opening at night.
  • Epiphytic Growth Habit: Naturally grows on trees, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and organic debris.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; can tolerate some filtered sun.
  • Water: Keep soil lightly moist but well-draining; avoid waterlogging.
  • Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity, mimicking its natural rainforest habitat.
  • Temperature: Best kept between 15-25°C, with some tolerance for cooler temperatures.
  • Fertiliser: Apply a balanced, diluted fertiliser during the growing season.
  • Potting: Use a well-draining, organic-rich mix suited for epiphytes.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings, allowing for quick expansion.
