Epiphyllum guatemalense cv. 'Curly kai'

This is a very peculiar cactus, not constituted by the typical shape with which we imagine a cactus, but in some respects resembling a succulent! It is made up of thin woody stems covered with down that come out directly from the root tuber, turning into rigid and perfectly smooth leaves, elongated and tending to assume a wavy trend and similar to a real curl (hence the name of the cultivar). Contributes to the leaf movement a jagged and asymmetrical margin, almost drawn by a sort of whitish line that distinguishes it, which makes each leaf even more three-dimensional and creates a pleasant chromatic contrast with the lively bright green of the epidermis. This species has a decidedly slow growth, but the show that it will produce will definitely be worth the wait!
