It is night blooming epiphytic that produces small white flowers that begin to open at dusk. By sunrise, the flower will fade but is often followed by small red, edible fruit. These plants originate in the jungle so they don’t mind humidity, but prefer their soil to dry out in between watering.
>>Fun fact: Their pollinators are moths or bats, which is why the flowers open at night and are bright white so they will be noticed. On the contrary, they can also self-pollinate and fruits can form even without the intervention of insects or mammals.

Water: Regular watering once the soil has dried: Approx once a week to 10 days

Propagate: Take a stem cutting and let the cut callous over till dry. Place in soil in bright, indirect light and water lightly. Keep soil slightly damp but not soggy. Roots will occur in approx 2 weeks.
