The Queen of the Night flower originates from Mexico and South America and is a jungle cactus.


The flowers are large and fragrant, shining white like a full moon. The Queen of the Night is a rare type of flower that blooms only one night a year. The flower queen at night in full bloom is a rare sight as it wilts before dawn. White flowers have a subtle scent like magnolias and gardenia.


The symbolic character of the epiphyllum is its short flowering time, therefore, people commonly used the blooming epiphyllum as a metaphor for how good things don't last. On the other hand, because of this rarity, it's also a sign of luckiness for those who see its bloom.

Light


Most cacti require full sun, but the Queen of the Night prefers bright indirect lights its natural habitat blocks the sunlight from lush trees. 


Indirect sunlight is the best type of light for your queen of the night cactus flower to bloom. Indirect light occurs when an object diffuses sunlight. Diffuse sunlight through tree leaves or a sheer shade over a window. 


Soil


Amend potting soil with Perlite, sand, peat moss, or bark to add fluff and air. The pot does not have to be big, as the Queen of the Night grows well when its roots are bound. 


Water


Do not water the plant until it has become dry. You can water your Queen of the Night once every two weeks from the Spring through the Fall. 
Water your cactus every four to six weeks during the winter. 


Temperature


Recreating jungle temperatures and humidity will help your Queen of the Night stay healthy. 
Keep temperatures between 50 °F to 90 °F, and never expose the plant to freezing temperatures. 


Humidity


Keep your humidity levels above 50% by misting the plant or purchasing a humidifier. 


Fertilizer


Use a succulent plant food and feed your Queen of the Night once a month from the Spring into the Fall. 
Choose a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen. If your fertilizer has too much nitrogen, the cactus will grow too large and will not produce many blooms.
