Selenicereus chrysocardium is an easy-care epiphytic cactus native to the rainforests of Mexico. It produces long, flat, zig-zagging stems that gracefully sprawl downward, creating a beautiful cascading effect in hanging baskets or shelves. This cactus is renowned for its large, white flowers, though they are rare, blooming occasionally in spring.

Preferring a bright position away from direct sunlight, it thrives in humid environments, making it ideal for indoor spaces with higher moisture levels. It requires sparce watering, with the soil being allowed to dry out completely between waterings.

A charming and unique plant that adds an exotic touch to any space, especially in hanging planters or as a stunning cascading feature.
