Selenicereus Validus. Hanging Cactus.
The Selenicereus Validus Cactus has long succulent pendent green stems which branch at the base and have very fine white spines along their length. Very attractive these rope-like stems cascade down giving a waterfall effect.

Amazing white and gold coloured flowers are nocturnal, opening at night and lasting into the next morning. Highly fragranced each is around 22cm long. Perfect for providing a dramatic accent to your house or office.

These types of cacti are Epiphytic, meaning in habitat they grow in trees or on rocks, getting their nutrients from the air or dead leaves and other debris collected in the cracks or crevasses.

Very easy to keep needing minimal maintenance.
