Epiphyllum 'Satin Ruffles'

Epiphyllum 'Satin Ruffles' is a hybrid orchid cactus valued for its large, elegant flowers. It produces broad, flattened stems that arch and trail, similar to its parent species from Central and South America. The blooms are creamy white with a soft yellow flush, their petals gently ruffled at the edges, giving the flower a textured, layered appearance. They are typically produced in warmer months and open widely, often in the evening or night.

Care Tips

• Light: Best in bright, indirect light; protect from strong midday sun to avoid stem damage.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during the growing and flowering period, reducing watering in cooler months.
• Media: Prefers a coarse, well-draining mix enriched with organic material.
• Fertiliser: Use a balanced fertiliser during spring and summer, changing to one higher in potassium before flowering.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions and should be protected from temperatures below 10°C.
• Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years to refresh the growing medium and support new growth.
