Additionally, we grow and ship "sun cactus". We are again able to offer a range of these attractive hybrids between, Aporocactus and Epiphyllum hybrids. The plants have the rats-tail stems of the Aporocactus combined with the flowers of the Epiphyllum. Flowers are mostly 3-5 inches in diameter being produced freely in the spring.
Plants are easy to grow and make ideal subjects for hanging baskets so that their long slender stems can cascade. They require a minimum temperature of about 42f ( 6c) in winter and prefer slight shade from the summer sun. Plants may require the occasional light watering during winter to stop die back of the tips of the stems, particularly if grown in a warmer environment.( i.e. indoors). These plants respond well to regular feeding during the spring and summer with a cactus food (such as Cactigrow) to build up the plants strength for flowering.
Sun Cactus price: $2.25 per cutting. Plus, shipping and handling.
Epiphyllum price: $3.00-$10.00, depending upon the varieties, plus S&H.
Zig Zag price: $2.25, plus s&h
