Highlights
Hurricane Cactus (Lepismium cruciforme) (Miquel): A climbing cactus with forest green stems that flush purple, especially in the summer months. The margins of the stem feature white, fluffy areoles from which, pink blooms emerge.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
