Epiphyllum ackermannii is a stunning epiphytic cactus prized for its large, vibrant scarlet-red flowers that create a breathtaking display in spring and summer. Its long, flat stems grow in a graceful, arching habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets or elevated planters where both its foliage and blooms can be admired. Even when not in flower, the bold green stems bring a sculptural touch to any indoor or greenhouse collection.
Native to Central America, this species thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix. It should be watered regularly during the active growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings, and given less water in winter. With the right care, Epiphyllum ackermannii rewards growers with a spectacular floral display that makes it one of the most show-stopping epiphyllums to grow.
