Lepismium bolivianum - forest cactus & zinc bowl combination

  • Position: bright indirect light
  • Soil: freely draining
  • Rate of growth: average to fast
  • Hardiness: tender (indoors only)
  • Pot cover: includes a zinc hanging bowl planter

    This spine-free cactus is usually found growing in the crooks of tree branches in the Bolivian forest, but they also make interesting and handsome house plants. They form a mass of flattened, fleshy stems that look great spilling over the edges of a pot, and provided they get a good amount of light, they are very easy to look after. In optimum conditions, it may also produce pink or white flowers along the stem.

    The plant will be delivered with our small steel hanging bowl planter with a hammered dark zinc finish (Ø20cm x H15cm). It includes a 55cm steel hanging cable with a 7cm hanging loop.

  • Home care: An easy to care for succulent plant that likes a bright spot. Avoid overwatering, particularly in winter and maintain temperatures above 10°C.

    Please note: hang on a secure hook out of reach of children. Avoid filling to the brim with soil as this will add unnecessary weight.
