Epiphyllum Hookeri subsp. Pittieri ‘Bits and Pieces’ – Trailing Night-Blooming Orchid Cactus

Epiphyllum hookeri subsp. pittieri ‘Bits and Pieces’ is an epiphytic orchid cactus from the humid forests of Central and South America, where it grows on trees rather than in soil. Its long, flat, segmented stems are spineless and arch and trail as they grow, which makes it a natural fit for hanging baskets. Mature plants produce white, star-like, fragrant flowers that open at night and close by morning, a short-lived but memorable show. It’s an easy-going, unusual indoor plant for anyone who enjoys jungle cacti and night-scented blooms.

Why You’ll Love It ✔️

✔️ Trailing, strappy stems – Long, flat, spineless stems cascade gracefully, which gives it a relaxed, jungle look in a hanging pot.

✔️ Easy and forgiving – Like other orchid cacti, it’s simple to grow, tolerates the odd missed watering and propagates readily from stem cuttings.

✔️ Night-blooming, fragrant flowers – Its white, star-like blooms open after dark and release a sweet scent, so it’s a rewarding plant to grow on to flowering size.

Care Tips

🌞 Light: Bright indirect light encourages healthy growth and flowering. It tolerates some gentle filtered sun but should be kept out of harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the stems.

💧 Water: Water when the top few centimetres of mix have dried. Unlike desert cacti, it doesn’t like drying out completely, but it is prone to rot if kept soggy, so let excess water drain freely.

💦 Humidity: It prefers moderate to high humidity. A humidifier can help in dry or air-conditioned rooms.

🌡 Temperature: 15–28°C is ideal. It tolerates down to around 10°C but should be protected from frost and cold draughts.

🌱 Soil: Use a very airy, fast-draining mix with plenty of coco chip, plus coco coir & perlite, to suit its epiphytic roots.

🪴 Support: No support needed. Grow it in a hanging basket or on a raised shelf so the stems can trail.

🌿 Fertiliser: Controlled-release fertiliser is already added to the potting mix. During spring and summer, add a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every few weeks.

🚫 Toxicity: Toxicity information for this species is limited. Orchid cacti are generally considered low-risk, but we recommend keeping it out of reach of pets and children as a precaution.

Also known as: Epiphyllum pittieri, Epiphyllum hookeri var. pittieri, Epiphyllum phyllanthus var. pittieri, Phyllocactus pittieri, Orchid Cactus

Pot Size: 75mm
Shipping Availability: Nationwide

We get a lot of questions about how our shipping works, so here’s a simple breakdown 🌿📦

Our shipping rates are charged per box, with each box able to fit up to 8 × 75mm potted plants.

As a general guide:
• 75mm pots make the best use of space, with up to 8 plants fitting in one box
• 100mm pots take up more space, so a box will usually fit around 3 plants depending on their size and shape

If your order requires more than one box, the website will automatically add the additional shipping charge.

For example:
• Up to 8 × 75mm plants = 1 box
• Larger 100mm plants use more box space and may reduce the total number of plants that fit in each box
