It is an easily cultivated, fast-growing epiphyte. It needs compost containing plenty of humus and sufficient moisture in summer. Should not be kept under 12 C (53.5 F) in winter. Can be grown in semi-shade or full sun. Extra light in the early spring will stimulate budding. Flowers in late spring or early summer.
Orchid Cactus make excellent houseplants for a sunny window, and can be placed outdoors in summer.
Rarely offered from seed, and limited supply!
Seeds per packet: 10
Obtain a container with holes in the bottom, to allow water to drain. Use a mix of 50:50 compost/soil and sand. Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. These seeds can grow in temperatures of 21C-29C (70-84F), average about 26C (79F), or a heat mat can be helpful. It is very important to keep the soil moist until germination, and do not let the soil dry until the plants are formed. Watering can be done from a bottom tray, as not to disturb the seeds. The seeds generally germinate in 2-6 weeks, with warmer temperatures towards the quicker end of that range.
