The Epiphyllum Pumilum gives off major jungle vibes, its thick, leathery leaves are robust and fast growing.

This funky hanging plant is the perfect low maintenance statement plant to add impact to your home jungle.

A plant with a mind of it’s own, you can thicken the plant out but cutting it back & propagating the stems – your plant will also branch out from wherever you cut it!

Care:

Light: Bright indirect light will promote the best growth. Older plants can withstand direct sunlight.

Water: Only water once the soil is completely dry then give a heavy water. When the leaves wrinkle, that’s a sign that it’s ready for watering.

Food: Not a requirement but if you choose to; use a light cacti fertiliser.

Humidity: Will thrive in a normal home humidity but will also tolerate dry air.
