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.

It feels cheap and works just okay
This product just feels like it was made on the bottom dollar. It is very cheaply made and the doors to the battery compartment are so fragile it feels like they may snap next time I have to change the batteries. There's absolutely no weather proofing so I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain or heat. That being said, it's fine. It stays put on our umbrella and puts out light, albeit not much light.

Functional and easy to install!
Color: Cool White
This umbrella light is super handy! It hinges open to allow installation around the umbrella pole, so you don’t have to remove umbrella from table to add the light. I like that it can be charged with included USB cord or can use regular batteries. The different light settings are also nice depending on how much light you need or want at the time. We’ll be using this quite often when sitting at the table by the pool this summer.

A lovely gentle cleanser - good for rosacea-prone skin
I have also purchased the Thayer's Milky toner and really liked it. I normally use oil-based cleansers, like Beauty of Joseon ginseng oil cleanser (which I still do love), and Cosrx makes a snail mucin cleanser that I use for cleansing off makeup or sunscreen and it's very nice. But for my daily regular wash, particularly in the morning, I like a very gentle easy-to-wash-off cleanser that hydrates and soothes. This Thayer's has no perfumes/fragrances! Good for rosacea-prone skin. Hydrates and soothes very well. It didn't strip my skin, wasn't oily at all (though good oil-based cleansers do feel oily they don't stay oily), and felt wonderful as I cleansed my skin - also washed away very easily and quickly; I do about 14 or so splashes of water to be sure all is removed then use a washable reusable toner pad with toner to remove any lingering residue. It doesn't make my skin feel tight or dry. It is gentle. It doesn't lather up, which I like since I don't use lathering products or soaps on my face. No burning, itching, redness, or any irritation at all. I normally use K-Beauty but Thayer's is one brand I will use that's not in the K-Beauty products category. It really is a lovely cleanser.

Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser That Doesn’t Strip My Skin
I’ve been really enjoying this cleanser so far. The formula feels lightweight, creamy, and hydrating without leaving behind any heavy residue. I especially love that it’s fragrance free and sulfate free because it feels very gentle on my skin and doesn’t leave my face feeling stripped, tight, or dry after washing. The ingredients are a huge plus for me, especially the snow mushroom and hyaluronic acid. My skin feels soft, balanced, and hydrated after every use. I’ve also noticed my skin looking healthier overall since adding this into my routine. Another feature I appreciate is the locking pump, which makes it convenient for travel or storing without worrying about leaks. Overall, this feels like a high-quality everyday cleanser and I’ll definitely continue using it.

Use it for barrier repair and our sensitive skin
This does not remove makeup the best, but my daughter and I use it for barrier repair and our sensitive skin. It helps our skin feel soft and hydrated instead of stripped or tight after washing. Great gentle cleanser for everyday use! This is now part of our monthly subscription because we use it so often.
