Epiphyllum spp. 6”—A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Epiphyllum spp. 6”, a plant that’s as thoughtful as you are. Reverently nicknamed the “Queen of the Night,” this dramatic cactus is known for its sculptural, flattened stems and its once-in-a-blue-moon blooms—massive, fragrant, and opening only at night like a secret whispered to the moon. Even when not in bloom, she captivates with her bold, arching foliage and elegant presence.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Loves bright, indirect light—think filtered sun through a curtain or a bright east-facing window. Too much direct sun can scorch her royal fronds.

• Water: Water when the top half of the soil is dry. She’s a jungle cactus, not a desert one, so she prefers consistent (but not soggy) moisture.

• Humidity: Moderate to high humidity will keep her comfortable. Mist occasionally or keep her near other tropical companions.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Lush, firm stems and the appearance of bud-like nodes? She’s gearing up for greatness.

• Needs TLC: Wilted or shriveled stems? Likely underwatering. Pale or scorched tips? Dial down the direct sun.

Good News for Pet Parents:

Generally considered non-toxic—but those stems are delicate, so best to keep out of reach of curious paws to avoid damage.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 6” size refers to the diameter of the nursery pot, not the height or spread of the plant.

• Your Epiphyllum spp. 6” will arrive in its nursery pot—any containers or ceramics shown are for styling inspiration only.

• At 3B’s Flowers, we photograph every plant in-house, but nature doesn’t do clones. Your Queen of the Night may vary slightly in stem shape or growth habit—each one’s got her own vibe.

Symbolism with Style:

Symbolizing mystery, transformation, and fleeting beauty, the Queen of the Night is perfect for introspective souls, moon lovers, or anyone embracing the magic of slow growth and rare moments. When she blooms, it’s unforgettable.
