Description:
Beautiful exemplar of cactus native to the tropical areas of southern Mexico with rapid growth. Its green stems are erect when young and become drooping during the growth ( for this reason it is also called Cactus serpent ); they are equipped with ribs and protruding tubercles above which the white and fluffy areoles develop. The thorns of N. serpentinus are whitish with darker tips and with the growth darken even more. The highlight of this plant are its beautiful large night flowers, white, funnel-shaped with slightly pinkish margins and giving off a sweet scent.

Plant care:
It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
