Selenicereus grandiflorus (Queen of the Night Cactus) - Live Plant

The best things about this plant are long , snake-like stems that yield the most incredible and large night blooming flowers!

Details: Once thought to the cactus with the largest blooms, the Queen of the Night caught the attention of such notable botanists as Charles Darwin. Blooms are typically white. 

As houseplant, treat this treasure like related orchid cactus and dragon fruits: grow up, add support, then allow the stems to drape; this will promote flowering. Keep warm and in the brightest location available. Feed monthly with an organic all-purpose plant food. Most importantly, follow the "water deeply then allow to go dry dry" method... soggy soil will not be tolerated for long. 

Shipping?

Sage Garden grows many unique varieties... so live plant shipping within Canada is available for select varieties mid-June through mid-October. We do not ship plants during freezing weather or during particularly hot weather - both of these situations are very hard on plants in transit. 

 

Please note: customers are responsible for the full actual shipping charges (Canada Post or UPS) and understand that Sage Garden cannot take responsibility for damages that occur in shipping. 

Plant size and condition

The plants photographed for web listings are representative but it is important to note that each plant is different, and maturity and fullness change with the seasons. Some plants go semi-dormant in winter, and transitional leaf drop is common for some plants when settling into a new home... this is considered normal. Decor pots featured in photos are available separately and are not included unless specifically noted in the description.

Care Tip #1

There is a lot less light indoors, especially as you move away from windows. Start by placing all indoor plants in the brightest location available and tune things from there.

Care Tip #2

Indoor plants benefit from regular showering! This keeps leaves dust-free so they can photosynthesize to their full potential, and also reduces the chances of pests occurring on houseplants.
