Jayme Garden Selenicereus Chrysocardium

Selenicereus chrysocardium is generally considered beginner-friendly. As long as you provide a well-draining soil mix and keep the cuttings in a warm, bright spot out of direct sun, they should establish roots relatively easily.

Yes, it is best to plant them as soon as possible. If you cannot plant them immediately, keep the cut ends in a cool, dry place for a day or two, but avoid placing them in water, as this can cause rot.

While this plant thrives in partial to full shade, it still requires bright, indirect light to grow well. A low-light corner may cause the plant to become leggy or stop growing, so aim for a spot near a window that doesn't receive harsh, direct sun.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. Ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.

It can do both. In its natural habitat, it is an epiphyte that climbs trees, but in a home setting, it looks beautiful trailing from a hanging basket or climbing a small trellis or moss pole.

While Selenicereus species are generally not considered highly toxic, it is always best practice to keep houseplants out of reach of curious cats and dogs to prevent accidental ingestion or damage to the plant.
