This is a fragrant, night-blooming cactus and its blooms wilt before daylight when it is in a blooming cycle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Queen of the Night Cactus is a tropical cactus, it has flattened leaves as it loves humidity and water, and doesn't need to be able to store water like its desert-dwelling friends. Its growth pattern is reminiscent of the Fishbone Cactus or Christmas Cactus. These are a great trailing plant for a hanging basket or bookshelf. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFun fact: These are propagations from our massive (very old) Queen of the Night that lives in our greenhouse full-time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBasic Care: This tropical cactus is different from desert varieties and can tolerate lower light conditions and also enjoys and appreciates humidity. Watering is more similar to a regular tropical houseplant, and you can water when the top two inches of soil are dry, as opposed to waiting for the soil to be bone dry as with other cacti. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ritters Garden and Gift","offers":[{"title":"3.5","offer_id":44667279605945,"sku":"QUEEN3","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/5583\/2249\/files\/IMG_6699_1.jpg?v=1735602476","url":"https:\/\/www.4ritter.com\/products\/cactus-queen-of-the-night","provider":"Ritters Garden and Gift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
