 Epiphyllum is a genus of tropical succulents often referred to as orchid cacti or climbing cacti. There are over a dozen species and many associated hybrids of varying shapes and sizes. They usually have long, flat, non-spiny, and trailing stems. With the right care, they showcase bright, large, fragrant, and night-blooming flowers in the spring or summer. In the wild, these mostly epiphytic plants grow on branches or trunks of trees rather than developing roots in the ground. They absorb the moisture and nutrients they need from the humid environment around them. In a garden landscape, the trailing stems of orchid cacti look good in hanging baskets. Despite their common name, they don't like full sun and dry air like normal cacti species. Epiphyllums do best in warm, humid, and shady spots that replicate their tropical forest natural habitat. This makes them a good choice as an easy-to-grow, slow-growing bathroom plant. Common Name Orchid cacti, climbing cacti, leaf cactus ...

 In this article, we introduce a wide variety of choices in low light succulents and provide basic information on their care. What Is Low Light Conditions? It’s important to understand low light conditions and no light are not the same things. No plant (even the snake plant aka mother-in-law’s tongue) can live with no light. Low light conditions are a location away from a window indoors or in a lightly shaded setting outdoors. For example, an indoor succulent plant placed on a dining room table or on a shelf away from a window in an otherwise well-lit room is in a low light setting. Outdoors, plants receiving dappled sunlight under trees are in low light settings. In a setting with no light, such as a bathroom with a very small window or no window, it’s necessary to provide light through the use of a grow light. In this sort of situation, a succulent doing well in a low light setting will typically do well with artificial light conditions. Even so, you should rotate plants from art...
