Know before you buy
This plant is quite versatile and can handle anything from full sun to partial shade. For the best growth, place it in a spot that receives bright, indirect light, though it can tolerate direct sun if it is gradually acclimated.
The Curly Sue prefers moderate watering. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings to avoid waterlogging the roots, as this cactus prefers to stay slightly on the drier side.
Yes, the plant comes pre-potted in a 6-inch container. It is ready to be placed directly on a desk, shelf, or plant stand as soon as it arrives.
Absolutely. It is a hardy, low-maintenance variety that is very forgiving, making it an excellent choice for those new to indoor gardening or for office environments where you cannot provide constant attention.
Epiphyllums are relatively slow-growing, so it will be comfortable in its 6-inch pot for quite some time. You will only need to consider repotting once you notice roots growing out of the drainage holes or if the soil dries out significantly faster than usual.
