Epiphyllum guatemalense var. monstrose 'Curly Sue', also known as the Curly Orchid Cactus, is a captivating epiphytic cactus native to the rainforests of Central America. This easy-to-grow succulent is admired for its contorted, ribbon-like stems and large, fragrant, white flowers. With its unique appearance and adaptability, Epiphyllum guatemalense var. monstrose 'Curly Sue' is a rewarding plant for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Distinctive Features

  • Contorted, Ribbon-like Stems: The most distinctive feature of this cactus is its contorted, ribbon-like stems, which can grow up to 60cm (24in) long. These stems are typically a vibrant green and have a smooth texture. Their contorted growth habit gives this cactus a unique, sculptural quality.
  • Large, Fragrant, White Flowers: In spring and summer, Epiphyllum guatemalense var. monstrose 'Curly Sue' produces large, fragrant, white flowers that can reach up to 15cm (6in) in diameter. These blooms are truly spectacular and add a touch of elegance to this unusual cactus.
  • Epiphytic Growth Habit: As an epiphyte, Epiphyllum guatemalense var. monstrose 'Curly Sue' naturally grows on trees in its native habitat. This means it prefers a well-draining potting mix and benefits from good air circulation around its roots.

Care Tips

  • Light: Bright, indirect light is best for Epiphyllum guatemalense var. monstrose 'Curly Sue'. While it can tolerate some shade, it will produce more flowers in brighter conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the stems.
  • Water: Allow the potting mix to dry out slightly between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water moderately, and reduce watering in autumn and winter when the plant is dormant.
  • Humidity: This cactus prefers slightly higher humidity than desert cacti. Misting occasionally or placing the pot on a tray of pebbles and water can help create a more humid environment.
  • Temperature: Epiphyllum guatemalense var. monstrose 'Curly Sue' thrives in warm temperatures between 18-24°C (64-75°F) during the growing season. In winter, it can tolerate cooler temperatures down to 10°C (50°F).
  • Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season to support healthy growth and flowering.
  • Potting: Use a well-draining epiphytic cactus potting mix. Repot every 2-3 years in spring to replenish nutrients and accommodate its growth.
  • Propagation: This cactus can be easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer, allow them to callus over for a few days, and then plant them in a well-draining potting mix.

Great
Size: Large, Color: 5 Pack
These are big deal toys for our dogs. Use them when have to go out for a whole day. Have bought three sets over about two years. Takes them a several days to gut and get to the squeaker. They keep the skin around for months if we let them.

Great Interactive Toy for My Dogs
Color: Fox-Crocodile
I have four dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and these toys have been a fun addition to our home. The two dogs in the photos were the first to test them, and they immediately started sniffing, searching, and working to get the treats hidden inside. The toys are soft, well-made, and provide great mental stimulation. I like that they keep my dogs entertained while encouraging them to use their noses and problem-solving skills. The treat compartments work best with small training treats, and the toys have held up well during regular play. Overall, this has been a great enrichment toy for my pack. If you have small or medium-sized dogs that enjoy treat puzzles and interactive toys, I would definitely recommend giving these a try. The two pups in the photos approved them right away, and the other two quickly joined the fun!

Great toy for our mouthy chewing very active dog - he loves it and so do we!
Color: Fox-Crocodile
Great buy! Dog is very mouthy, so got this to try to focus chewing on a toy rather than me, and he loves it. Pockets are a little small for many treats, but they do hold very small ones tucked into each triangle - (16 small treats total between the two toys), and rolls up with a strong velcro which holds pretty well. Dog will forcefully wedge his nose into the roll trying to get to the treats and it doesn't unroll until he works it over. Wasn't positive how well it would hold up - he is a very mouthy puppy who is very strong and likes to shred, but out of all the toys, it has held up some of the best (on par with the kong toys so far) where others are not faring so well. He has pulled and tugged at the eyes, feet and ears repeatedly, and they are still firmly attached and no fraying on the treat spots at this time. He throws this thing around playing by himself and aside from being dirty now being one of his favorite toys, it looks as good as new. The only problem we have had is one of the squeakers no longer squeaks as he seems to have managed to remove that part of the noisemaker - but no holes, no rips, no shreds, nothing else showing wear and tear. He has even used it for tug of war on occasion and though we didn't let that last too long, it showed no signs of tearing or ripping from that either.

A favorite with my dogs but didn't last long
Color: Fox-Crocodile, Color: Fox-Crocodile
These have been a HUGE hit with my aggressive chewers but after less than 3 months, this is all that is left of the poor fox and alligator. My youngest STILL plays with them like they are brand new. I will probably buy them again but wish they were actually designed for aggressive chewers as advertised. I would say it's more for the average chewer. 4 stars because it was a good purchase and a top favorite toy but just didn't last long.
