Appearance: Epiphyllum oxypetalum is a distinctive cactus with no spines and flattened, leaf-like stems, often segmented. Its most striking feature is its large, fragrant white flowers that bloom only at night. The flowers can reach up to a foot in diameter and have many slender petals.

Blooming Period: As the name suggests, this plant blooms exclusively at night, usually once a year. The flowers begin to open in the late evening and continue to unfold throughout the night, filling the air with a sweet, captivating fragrance. By morning, the flowers close and typically fade by the following day.

Growing Conditions: This epiphytic cactus naturally grows on other plants, rather than in the soil. When cultivated, it is commonly grown in hanging baskets or containers with well-draining soil. It thrives in warm, tropical climates and needs filtered or indirect sunlight. The plant prefers to be slightly root-bound, so repotting is rarely necessary.

Cultural Significance: The blooming of this plant is celebrated in various cultures for its fleeting beauty. In some regions, its rare blooming is an occasion for gatherings and festivities, where people come together to enjoy the flower's charm and fragrance.
