🌱 Moon Cactus
One day, partner brought home a smol🌵, he called a Moon Cactus 🌕.
(Partner spends freetime peeping plants at nurseries; I will grab something from Trader Joe's). 🌕🌵 thrive on indirect sunlight, kind of like me👵. This one seems to be 💗 as new growth has appeared.
GeneticMutant
Grafted
an AI overview of what this Cactus, these two cacti, are, that are in a small off-white colored planter sitting on a white tile window sill inside a 1970s ranch home. The cactus in the image is a Moon Cactus, scientifically known as Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. It is a type of grafted cactus, which means it is actually two different cacti joined together. Top Part: The bright orange, globular top is a Gymnocalycium mihanovichii. This part is a genetic mutant that lacks chlorophyll, the green pigment needed for photosynthesis. Its natural red, orange, or yellow pigments are visible as a result. Bottom Part: This colorful top is grafted onto a green rootstock cactus, which is typically a species of Hylocereus or Selenicereus. The green base provides all the nutrients and performs photosynthesis for the entire plant to survive. Common Names: This plant is also known by other common names such as Ruby Ball, Red Cap, Red Hibotan, or Hibotan cacti. the moon cactus which is the orange part of these two cacti is a genetic mutant that lacks chlorophyll and must depend on the other Cactus to which it has attached itself, for nutrition. full description is in the first photograph alt text a view of a moon plant with a momento, a blown glass bluebird, purchased in the Wisconsin dells by my first child, on a trip with my mother, 38 years ago?? I am a big blob of sentimentality about certain objects. Moon Cactus in the window on a very cold morning in the Sonoran Desert

Si alguien quiere unos cactus Selenicereus undatus, en el barrio conocida como pitahaya, me lo pide por mensaje privado. Tengo varios esquejes esperando mudanza y nueva vida.
Tiene tres caras; una de ellas busca apoyarla y la fija con raíces aéreas. La flor es un espectáculo que dura una sola noche.

This is the fruit of a plant in the Genus Selenicereus
It's a cactus that only blooms at night
It's flowers are large and fragrant
And usually are colored white.

Location: Hallstrom Farmstead Conservation Area, Vero Beach

こんにちは。この植物が Selenicereus anthonyanus なのか、Epiphyllum oxypetalum なのか、それとも別のものなのかわかりません。アルゼンチンで発見されました。

🌱 I think I forgot to share that my Selenicereus grandiflorus produced a fruit. Mildly sweet and refreshing, like dragon fruit. Those spines are something, though. 😬
A collage of two images. Top is the very spiky fruit of a Selenicereus grandiflorus cactus on the vine. Bottom is the fruit cut in half on a blue and white Liberty Blue bread plate. The fruit's flesh is white with little black seeds.

eine Nahaufnahme von einem sehr stachligen Kaktus mit einer rosa Frucht, die jedoch bereits von Ameisen an zwei Stellen angefressen wurde. Es entsteht der Eindruck von zwei Augenhöhlen. Eine Erinnerung an Figuren von Tim Burton.

Ja mach mal.
Allerdings war der meinige nicht dieselbe Art denn des war bei mir ein Säulenkaktee und eurer ein Blattkaktee.
Meine damals war ein Echinopsis. Eurer dürfte wohl die Art Selenicereus sein. Kann mich bei eurem allerdings auch irren.

Absolutely bonkers flowers on this night-blooming cereus (Selenicereus undatus) at the Montreal Botanic Garden @espacepourlavie.bsky.social!
Closeup of a cream-yellow flower, surrounded by long narrow greenish-yellow bracts. Visible in the flower's opening is the pistil, which is a couple of inches across and looks like a many-armed yellow starfish with a round opening in the middle. Behind that is a crown of stamens. The whole flower is maybe 5 inches long and three inches wide, with the bract whorl more like 10 inches wide. Wider shot of the plant, behind a low rope barrier. There are several flowers against a messy tangle of long, triangular, dully serrated succulent stems.

Looks a lot like the flower of a Dragon Fruit Plant (Selenicereus undatus) that only blooms once and only at night.... and usually around a full moon

Dragon fruit plants (Selenicereus) are lax, clambering plants. They are not stiff, upright plants such as Saguaros. Selenicereus needs something to flop upon or it needs some tying/staking help to get it and keep it going upright.

A Selenicereus species. Might be S. undatus (Dragon fruit), S. setaceus, S. triangularis, or S. grandiflorus. Where exactly did you photograph it? Did you get better a shot of the foliage? Yes, a cactus.

*apologies because the alt text for the first two images should say Selenicereus grandiflorus & I copy-pasted the wrong text in a very unhelpful moment of brain fog

Selenicereus grandiflorus has spines/looks more “cactus-y” & the outer petals are a dark orange. Epiphyllum oxypetalum’s blooms are mostly white (outer petals have a tint), it has no spines, and looks less cactus-y. It’s also the one you’ll usually see in someone’s house. Reference pics:

Hey babes! It’s a gorgeous timelapse, but Insta Science is spreading misinformation.

Certain rarer flowering cacti like Selenicereus grandiflorus—also commonly called Queen of the Night—bloom more rarely, but Epiphyllum oxypetalum blooms often & is easily cultivated as a house plant. :)

The Queen of Night (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) blooms just once a year at night and only for a few hours.
