Epiphyllum ‘Curly Locks’ is a striking orchid cactus known for its dramatically twisted, curly stems that cascade beautifully from pots and hanging baskets. This epiphytic cactus hails from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it thrives in dappled light and humid conditions. The architectural shape of its foliage adds a unique texture to indoor collections or patio arrangements.
