Notas de cultivo
Can self attach, but often it is best to train the cactus up a trellis or nylon string to direct its path. Prune lightly in spring to open up the form.
Appreciates a hot spot, but be careful growing on a blasting south facing wall, where full sun could be a bit much for this tree growing cactus.
Interés especial
Overly large ghostly flowers open only for a single night and are quite the treat! Ready for your moon viewing party.
