Description
Climbing cacti are unique cacti that lack spines and are not bulbous in structure. They are called "climbing" cacti because they are usually epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants instead of in the ground. All species bloom with beautiful, fragrant, white flowers at night and many bloom for a single evening only. Some climbing cacti are cultivated for ornamental purposes.

Queen of the night
Queen of the night is a unique flowering plant. Its flowers are funnel-shaped and have clean white petals and an aromatic scent. Each flower blooms on a single quiet night and fades within hours, making the plant a veritable moonlight beauty.
Fishbone cactus
Fishbone cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) is a succulent epiphyte that grows well in low-soil situations. Perfect for new and inexperienced gardeners, this easy-to-grow plant will thrive with little attention. Its common name refers to its zigzag-shaped leaves.
