Epiphyllum 'Togo'

Epiphyllum 'Togo' is a hybrid orchid cactus with ancestry linked to species native to Central and South American forests, where they grow on trees and rocks in humid environments. The plant produces flattened, segmented stems that arch or trail, enabling it to gather light under shaded conditions. Its flowers are large and widely opening, with petals that are primarily white, blending into yellow and orange hues toward the centres and tips. These blooms are typically produced in the warmer months and are short-lived yet showy.

Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh midday sun to prevent stem damage.
• Water: Keep evenly moist during growth and flowering, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings; reduce during cooler months.
• Media: Best grown in a coarse, free-draining mix with added organic material.
• Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring and summer, using a formula higher in potassium as flowering approaches.
• Temperature: Suited to warm conditions; protect from temperatures below 10°C.
• Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years to renew media and allow for spreading stems.
