{"product_id":"epiphyllum-strictum","title":"Epiphyllum 'Strictum'","description":"\u003cp\u003eEpiphyllum 'Strictum' is a long-established orchid cactus hybrid, thought to have originated from species native to Central America. It is well known for its impressive night-blooming flowers, which open fully after dusk. The blooms are large and star-shaped, composed of long, slender petals in white, sometimes tinged faintly with green or cream, and accented by yellow stamens and a pinkish tube. Each flower is short-lived, usually lasting only a single night, but plants can produce multiple blooms over the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLight:\u003c\/b\u003e Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid strong midday sun to prevent stem scorch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWater:\u003c\/b\u003e Water regularly in the growing season, keeping the mix slightly moist; reduce in winter when growth slows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMedia:\u003c\/b\u003e Use a coarse, well-draining mix enriched with organic matter to mimic its natural epiphytic habitat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFertiliser:\u003c\/b\u003e Apply a balanced fertiliser through spring and summer, switching to a higher potassium blend prior to blooming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/b\u003e Best kept in warm conditions, with protection from prolonged cold below 10°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/b\u003e Repot every 2–3 years, refreshing the mix to support healthy root growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"description\" content=\"Epiphyllum 'Strictum', a classic orchid cactus hybrid with large, star-shaped white night-blooming flowers.
