Epiphyllum guatemalense ‘Monstrose’, often nicknamed the “Curly Locks Cactus” or simply “Curly Epiphyllum,” is a bizarre and beautiful cultivar of a jungle cactus native to the rainforests of Guatemala and parts of Central America. In the wild, the species (Epiphyllum guatemalense) grows as an epiphyte—anchoring itself to trees in humid, shaded environments where it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air and rain.

Description

The ‘Monstrose’ variety is a cultivated mutation prized for its fantastically twisted and contorted stems. Instead of the flat, strap-like stems typical of most Epiphyllums, this form sports irregular, curled, ribbon-like growth that gives the plant a wild, untamed appearance. It’s a conversation piece in any collection, often grown in hanging baskets where its spiraled stems can cascade downward like abstract green ribbons. While its unique foliage is the star of the show, it may occasionally produce large, white, night-blooming flowers in the right conditions, though flowering is rare in this cultivar.

Care Tips

As a tropical epiphyte, Epiphyllum guatemalense ‘Monstrose’ prefers filtered light—bright but indirect. It will scorch in direct sun, especially during the hottest parts of the day, but too little light will slow growth. Morning sun or dappled shade is ideal.

Use a very well-draining potting mix—an orchid or cactus mix with added perlite or bark chips works well. Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry, and reduce watering in winter. Avoid letting it sit in soggy soil, as this can cause root rot.

It thrives in warm, humid conditions but is surprisingly tolerant of indoor dryness if not overwatered. Fertilize lightly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Prune unruly or overly long stems to maintain shape or encourage branching.

With the right care, Epiphyllum guatemalense ‘Monstrose’ is an easygoing, eye-catching plant perfect for tropical-style gardens, shaded patios, or as an indoor hanging feature. Its eccentric growth habit adds texture and a touch of whimsy wherever it grows.

CULTIVATION TIPS

We recommend purchasing 2 or 3 cuttings when planting up a pot as it will ensure the development of a robust and aesthetic plant.

Epiphyllum do best in partial shade in a fertile soil mix. Keep reasonable moist throughout the year, a little less so in winter. They enjoy humidity and so benefit from spraying.

Tom King’s Best
Format: Hardcover
This is easily the best thing Tom King has ever written, and I read it in a 2 hour burst where I couldn't put it down. Just a thrilling read where you cant help but keep turning the page, even though you can see this cant be leading to a happy ending. Animal Pound is a wonderful book which will eventually end up on high school and college reading lists, as it’s an important book with something to say, and the comparisons to Donald Trump’s rise to power are obvious and scary. This is the rare graphic novel meant to be given to non comics readers.

The talking animal book that talks down to you
Format: Hardcover
You hear the snap of Tom King high-fiving himself for his own genius as he turns a cat and dog into philosopher-poets in the first few pages. The story never comes out of its self-congratulatory spell as we’re supposed to buy this as the heir to Animal Farm. SPOILERS The animals take over the town/county pound, chasing the workers away before anymore animals can be euthanized. And guess what? The workers never come back. Nobody comes back. But they keep the lights, and electric on. ‘Let the animals keep it’ were left to assume the county trustees said. It might work as a fable if King didn’t ground it so much in the real world. The animals learn how to use the webcam, capture online donations, and use those donations to buy food. Want to see a world where animals who could leave the pound at any time struggle for self-governance? Good. Want to see a dog typing on a computer keyboard? Good. So what’s the real agenda? Well, ideologies, don’t worry. The story has a Trump analog - a bulldog. And the dumb dogs (Republicans) love this bulldog, and the wise cats (Democrats) hate this bulldog, and the rabbits (Latinos, I think), don’t know what to do. Some rabbits like the bulldog, even though he’s working against their self-interest (how Dems portray the pro-Trump Hispanic vote). ‘It’s a fable’, those who love the book will shout again. I see thee nay. You can’t have your webcam and fable too. Really well drawn, though.

Beautiful Superman Story

This standalone Superman story was incredible! If you're not sure about the overwhelmingness of Superman books or finding yhe right continuity or run to start in, rest assured that this book is outside of continuity and a beautiful one shot story of the Man of Steel and Lex Luthor.
