Product Description
Introduction
The Epiphyllum Purple, also known as the Bicolour Orchid Cactus, is a striking tropical plant admired for its exotic flowers and graceful, trailing stems. This beautiful plant brings a touch of elegance and drama to any indoor or shaded outdoor space, captivating plant lovers with its vivid blooms and easy-going nature.
Appearance and Characteristics
The Epiphyllum Purple stands out for its broad, flat, and gently arching stems that resemble leaves. These stems are bright green, with smooth edges and a slightly glossy surface. When mature, the plant produces large, spectacular flowers in stunning shades of purple, pink, and sometimes a blend of the two — giving it the name “Bicolour.” The blooms are usually fragrant, opening at night or in the early morning and lasting for a few days, filling the space with both colour and charm.
Growing Conditions
This plant thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight and prefers a warm, humid environment. It is naturally adapted to grow on trees in tropical forests, where it receives filtered light and good air circulation. A well-draining soil mix, ideally one designed for orchids or succulents, helps prevent waterlogging and keeps the roots healthy. Watering should be done moderately — allowing the top layer of soil to dry before watering again. During the growing season, regular feeding with a balanced plant food encourages lush growth and abundant flowering.
Care and Maintenance
The Epiphyllum Purple is relatively low-maintenance, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. It appreciates gentle pruning to remove old stems and can be easily propagated through cuttings. With proper care, this plant can bloom year after year, rewarding you with breathtaking floral displays.
A Touch of Tropical Beauty
Whether displayed in a hanging basket, on a shaded patio, or as an indoor accent, the Epiphyllum Purple / Bicolour Plant adds a tropical and luxurious touch to your home. Its captivating flowers and elegant form make it a true statement piece — a living artwork that brings beauty, calm, and joy to any space.
