Lepismium Cruciforme

  • Product Info

    Lepismium cruciforme is a striking, low-maintenance epiphytic cactus native to the rainforests of South America. Known for its unique, spiky stems and vibrant green color, it adds an exotic touch to any indoor space. Perfect for hanging baskets or mounted displays, this plant thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys a well-draining soil mix. Its trailing growth habit makes it a standout in any collection of succulents or tropical plants. Ideal for those looking to bring a bit of nature's beauty into their home with minimal effort.

  • Care guide:

    Light:
    Lepismium cruciforme thrives in bright, indirect light, but it can tolerate some light shade as well. While it can handle a bit of dappled sunlight, avoid direct exposure as it can scorch the leaves. The plant benefits from consistent light, which promotes healthy growth and encourages its unique, striking appearance.

    Watering:
    This plant prefers to stay on the slightly drier side. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. In the warmer months, water more frequently, but be sure the soil isn't soggy. In cooler months, reduce watering as the plant’s growth slows down. Always check that the pot has good drainage to avoid water accumulation at the bottom.

    Repotting:
    Repot your Lepismium cruciforme every 2-3 years or when it has outgrown its pot. Choose a new pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter. Refreshing the soil helps maintain proper root health and provides fresh nutrients. Be gentle with the roots, as they can be delicate. Repotting encourages healthy growth and ensures the plant has enough room to spread out.
