Epiphyllum oxypetalum, commonly known as the Queen of the Night, is a species of cactus native to Mexico and parts of Central America. It is known for its large, fragrant, and showy white flowers that bloom at night, typically between late spring and early summer.
The plant has long, flat, and leaf-like stems that can reach up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length and are composed of segments that are about 2-3 inches (5-7.6 cm) wide. The stems are typically green and have serrated edges.
The flowers of Epiphyllum oxypetalum are around 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) in diameter and have numerous petals that are arranged in a star-shaped pattern. The petals are white and have a waxy texture. The flowers bloom only at night and have a strong, sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators such as moths and bats.
Epiphyllum oxypetalum is an epiphytic plant, meaning it grows on other plants, such as trees, but does not rely on them for nutrients. It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant and is often found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world.
