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.

Evie and Maddox
Format: Kindle
Please check trigger warnings before diving in. This book was an emotional rollercoaster in the best way. Tuesday James did an incredible job crafting a story that flowed effortlessly while packing a serious emotional punch. The found family dynamic hit me right in the feels, and the backstories? Heart-wrenching. Evie and Maddox have been through so much—it’s impossible not to root for them. Their healing journey isn’t easy, but the way they lean on each other makes every struggle worth it. The side characters were fantastic, bringing warmth, friendship, and that cozy found-family vibe. And Evie’s twin boys? Absolutely adored them. Their bond with Maddox was heart-melting. Speaking of Maddox—his growth was chef’s kiss. He starts off as a broken man, using anger as a shield, but Evie cracks through that armor, bringing light back into his life. Not gonna lie, he irked me around the halfway mark, but once his backstory unfolds, you get it. Was he right? No. But he’s trying, learning, and making up for past mistakes, and I love that. Also, that man and his filthy mouth? Devoured this book the same way he devoured Evie. And Evie? Absolute powerhouse. She’s been through hell but never let her storm touch her babies. Watching her be the best mom while fighting for her own happiness was everything. I’m beyond excited for the next book because if this one is anything to go by, it’s going to be so good. What to Expect: ❤️ Grumpy x Sunshine 🖤Hurt/Comfort ❤️ "Pretty girl" 🖤 Height Difference ❤️ Plus-Size FMC 🖤Single Mom on the Run ❤️ FMC with Physical Scars 🖤Trauma ❤️ Banter 🖤MMC in Glasses ❤️ Who did this to you? 🖤Dark Small-Town Romance ❤️ Found Family Thank you to Tuesday James, the author, and the Author Agency team for the ARC opportunity!

Obsessed. Destroyed. Healed. Tuesday James’ debut is everything.
Format: Kindle
4.5 These Jagged Edges by Tuesday James is the debut that grabs your heart, gives it a squeeze, and then stitches it back together, one broken piece at a time. Meet Evie: fierce, no-nonsense, and a single mom who’s escaped her traumatic past but still carries the weight of it. Enter Maddox Wilder: broody, broken, emotionally unavailable—everything Evie should avoid. She’s everything he thinks he can’t have. But of course, they can’t stay away. This book? Pure emotional chaos—and I am HERE for it. Evie’s journey as a mother, survivor, and woman finding her way back to love? Breathtaking. And Maddox? Oh, honey. He’s the broody, big-hearted hero that makes you scream, "Let me love you!" The chemistry? Electric. The tension? Off. The. Charts. The spice? Don’t even get me started. The side characters? OBSESSED. Mercy is the flirty golden retriever we all need, Vic will steal your heart, and the twins? Pure joy. This book isn’t just a romance; it’s a found family story that will make you laugh, cry, and want to hug every single character. Tuesday, please don’t make me wait too long for Lou or Mercy's stories. I’m begging you. The writing? Lyrical, gut-punching, and beautifully raw. Every single moment will hit you. If you love grumpy-sunshine, second chances, and emotional healing that’s messy, imperfect, and oh-so-satisfying, this is a must-read. Read it. Cry. Hug your loved ones. Then DM me so we can scream about Maddox Wilder together.

Awesome story but…
Format: Kindle
The first half of the book needs a lot of editing. Normally I wouldn’t mind but there were a lot of mistakes. If you take that out of the equation, it’s a solid 4. But this as it is for me is a 3.5 The story is somewhat unique and it brought emotions in the second part.

Dark Romance - Small Town - Suspense - Enemies to Lovers
Format: Kindle
I'm soo glad I read this book. Maddox plays the big tough man with a hard exterior wall. Meanwhile, Evie, who was always stronger than she thought, broke down all his walls. Like true enemies to lovers, Maddox and Evie got under each other's skin to the point they collided and explosions went off...literally. The banter in this book, yeah, chef's kiss. This book has offers a lot. Each character has their own flair to them. Each one showed a level of growth and depth. Sometimes when I read certain books, it feels like I'm just getting the shell of what could have been. Not this one. Tuesday brought the fire. Every human emotion possible I felt while reading this book. I screamed, laughed, cussed, rolled my eyes, and sobbed. Seriously, for all those who love dark romance books with a plot and an excellent characters, this one's for you. Oh - the SPICE be SPICING.

Cute small town and found family.
Format: Kindle
Evie and Maddox’s story was so sweet. Obviously there were many parts that I wouldn’t call sweet, but overall it was a cute love story. I thought the author did a great job with the Grumpy X Sunshine trope. Cause Maddox is def a big ol grumpy. The found family trope is so strong in this book and I think that might be my fav part! Were there a few parts that Maddox made me realllllll upset? Ohh yes absolutely. In reality tho, that almost made him more believable. In no way am I giving an excuse for how he used her trauma against her. Cause that was absolute trash. But I did enjoy him spending the rest of the book attempting to make up for it. He could’ve groveled more tho lol. I absolutely loved the twins relationship with each character in this book. I think they were so important to the story and added that extra bit. How they protected their mama so fiercely was everything. It felt like some of these scenes were just thrown together. Meaning, some details were just dropped in but no other context with it. Like tidbits of info that didn’t really go with any part. Other scenes were clearly thought out with so much detail. The storyline was really interesting. I enjoyed that the FMC/MMC were able to show their trauma and grow and heal from it. I loved how the author showed the MC’s were able to live outside of their trauma and be who they are, not who the trauma made them. I think this was a very good debut novel depicting just how common the cycle of abuse can be, but even more so how you can break out of it. Not all homes are filled with love and understanding, but Evie was bound and determined to have that in her home.
