2" Yellow Bunny Cactus

Angel wing cactus, also known as Epiphyllum anguliger, is a beautiful and unique cactus species. Here are some guidelines on how to care for an angel wing cactus:

Light and Temperature: Place the angel wing cactus in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves. Maintain a temperature range between 60°F (15°C) and 80°F (27°C), avoiding extreme heat or cold.

Watering: Water the angel wing cactus thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant season (fall and winter) to prevent overwatering.

Humidity and Air Circulation: Angel wing cacti prefer moderate humidity levels, so consider misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray of water near the plant. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent the onset of fungal diseases.

Soil and Potting: Plant the angel wing cactus in well-draining cactus potting mix. You can create a mix using equal parts of regular potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark to ensure proper drainage.

Fertilization: Feed the angel wing cactus with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength once a month during the growing season. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for proper dilution ratios.

Pruning and Maintenance: Prune the angel wing cactus to maintain its shape and remove any damaged or diseased sections. Wear gloves when handling the cactus due to its spines.

Propagation: Angel wing cacti can be propagated from stem cuttings. Allow the cut ends to callus for a few days, then plant them in a well-draining mix and keep them slightly moist until roots develop.

Pests and Diseases: Monitor the cactus for pests such as mealybugs or spider mites. If found, treat them with an appropriate insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot and fungal diseases.

Remember, angel wing cacti are epiphytic cacti and have different care requirements compared to desert cacti. By providing the right conditions of light, water, and temperature, you can enjoy the unique beauty of the angel wing cactus in your home.
