Epiphyllum guatemalense ‘Monstrose’, often nicknamed the “Curly Locks Cactus” or simply “Curly Epiphyllum,” is a bizarre and beautiful cultivar of a jungle cactus native to the rainforests of Guatemala and parts of Central America. In the wild, the species (Epiphyllum guatemalense) grows as an epiphyte—anchoring itself to trees in humid, shaded environments where it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air and rain.

Description

The ‘Monstrose’ variety is a cultivated mutation prized for its fantastically twisted and contorted stems. Instead of the flat, strap-like stems typical of most Epiphyllums, this form sports irregular, curled, ribbon-like growth that gives the plant a wild, untamed appearance. It’s a conversation piece in any collection, often grown in hanging baskets where its spiraled stems can cascade downward like abstract green ribbons. While its unique foliage is the star of the show, it may occasionally produce large, white, night-blooming flowers in the right conditions, though flowering is rare in this cultivar.

Care Tips

As a tropical epiphyte, Epiphyllum guatemalense ‘Monstrose’ prefers filtered light—bright but indirect. It will scorch in direct sun, especially during the hottest parts of the day, but too little light will slow growth. Morning sun or dappled shade is ideal.

Use a very well-draining potting mix—an orchid or cactus mix with added perlite or bark chips works well. Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry, and reduce watering in winter. Avoid letting it sit in soggy soil, as this can cause root rot.

It thrives in warm, humid conditions but is surprisingly tolerant of indoor dryness if not overwatered. Fertilize lightly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Prune unruly or overly long stems to maintain shape or encourage branching.

With the right care, Epiphyllum guatemalense ‘Monstrose’ is an easygoing, eye-catching plant perfect for tropical-style gardens, shaded patios, or as an indoor hanging feature. Its eccentric growth habit adds texture and a touch of whimsy wherever it grows.

CULTIVATION TIPS

We recommend purchasing 2 or 3 cuttings when planting up a pot as it will ensure the development of a robust and aesthetic plant.

Epiphyllum do best in partial shade in a fertile soil mix. Keep reasonable moist throughout the year, a little less so in winter. They enjoy humidity and so benefit from spraying.

Perfect Baby Nail Kit – Everything You Need in One Set
Color: Green
I absolutely love the YIVEKO Baby Nail Kit! It’s a complete 4-in-1 set that comes with baby nail clippers, scissors, a nail file, and tweezers, all neatly packed in a cute owl-shaped case. It’s everything I needed for my little one’s nail care, and the tools are all designed specifically for babies, making them gentle and easy to use. The clippers and scissors are sharp enough to trim nails cleanly without being too harsh, and the tweezers are perfect for gently removing any little hangnails or bits of dirt. I also really appreciate the nail file, which helps smooth out any rough edges. The case is adorable and keeps everything organized, which is a nice bonus. This kit is perfect for newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids, and I highly recommend it to any parent looking for an all-in-one, safe nail care set!

Adorable Set with Holder

Absolutely a cute addition to a woodland forest themed nursery. I put this, along with other things into a bear basket for a baby shower gift. I love the little owl holder which keeps everything in one place and organized. Such a useful gift with a sweet appearance.

Preferred over electric file
Color: Green
I don't know why but I found these clippers to work better for cutting my baby's nails than the electric files. Maybe because I never figured out how to file correctly, but my baby is now 15 months and I still use this set regularly. It's a good size for small fingers and toes and I like that the case doubles as a toy/distraction.
