Curly Sue Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum guatemalense var. Montrose)

Curly Sue Orchid Cactus brings an unusual trailing form and a more tropical look to indoor plant collections than most people expect from a cactus. Its twisted, contorted stems create movement and texture, making it especially useful for hanging baskets, elevated planters, and shelves where the growth can spill naturally over the edges. This plant is a strong choice for bright indoor spaces that need a softer, more sculptural focal point without the harsh spines or rigid form of many desert cacti. It adds year-round interest and a more collected, specialty-plant feel with relatively simple care.

Distinctive Features

Curly Sue Orchid Cactus is prized for its flattened, deeply irregular, twisted stems that give it a ruffled and almost coral-like appearance. Unlike upright desert cacti, this is an epiphytic tropical cactus with a trailing to cascading habit and a spineless, more flexible structure. Stems are medium to dark green and develop into a fuller hanging mass over time, making the plant especially decorative even when not in bloom. Once mature, it can produce fragrant white flowers that open at night, typically from spring into midsummer, followed at times by small pink fruit.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Place in bright indirect light or filtered light, since harsh direct sun can scorch the stems while very low light can reduce vigor.
  • Soil: Grow in a loose, well-drained cactus or epiphytic mix that holds some moisture but never stays soggy.
  • Water: Water when the soil feels dry to slightly dry, allowing some drying between waterings but not the prolonged drought preferred by desert cacti.
  • Zones: Best grown indoors or in frost-free outdoor conditions, generally in USDA Zones 10 to 11 outdoors.
  • Habit: This is a trailing to cascading tropical cactus with flattened, twisted, contorted stems.
  • Notable Trait: Its epiphytic nature means it generally appreciates gentler light and a bit more humidity than many traditional cacti.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a hanging basket or elevated planter where the unusual twisted stems can be fully appreciated.
  • Hanging Baskets: Display in hanging containers where the cascading habit can develop naturally and soften the surrounding space.
  • Containers: Plant in decorative pots where its sculptural form adds contrast to upright foliage plants and standard succulents.
  • Indoor Collections: Add to specialty houseplant collections where its unusual growth pattern helps create a more distinctive display.
  • Small-Space Styling: Use on shelves, plant stands, or bright corners where a trailing plant can add movement without taking up much floor space.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering Routine: Allow the soil to dry partway before watering again, and avoid keeping the pot constantly wet or completely dry for long stretches.
  • Light Management: Keep in bright filtered light and protect from strong afternoon sun that can stress or discolor the stems.
  • Drainage: Use a pot with drainage and a loose mix so roots stay airy and excess moisture can escape easily.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is usually acceptable, but this plant often appreciates a bit more humidity than desert cacti.
  • Pruning: Trim stems lightly if needed to shape the plant or encourage a fuller, more balanced hanging habit.

Why Choose Curly Sue Orchid Cactus?

  • Unusual Texture: The twisted flattened stems give it a one-of-a-kind look that stands out in any indoor plant collection.
  • Trailing Habit: Its cascading growth adds movement and softness that many more rigid cacti and succulents do not provide.
  • Easy Indoor Fit: It adapts well to bright indoor conditions without needing the strongest direct sun in the house.
  • Low Maintenance: It is easy to care for when given good drainage and a simple moderate watering routine.
  • Collector Appeal: Its unusual form makes it an especially rewarding choice for growers who want something beyond standard houseplants.

Curly Sue Orchid Cactus is an easy way to add movement, texture, and a more unusual tropical cactus character to bright indoor spaces. Whether displayed in a hanging basket, styled on a shelf, or added to a specialty plant collection, it brings a memorable focal point with a softer, more sculptural presence.

Their other flavors without fizz are great...but not this one (My honest opinion).
Now I know why this one was so cheap! The taste was not pleasing to me at all... I threw it away. However, I do love their other lines, with the berry flavor being the best! Orange is good too but to obtain the best flavor, 2 spoons are required (for me anyways). Also, the berry flavor (while only taking 1 spoon) is even better tasting if you add a little lemon juice to it. Finally, I read that adding lemon juice to water helps to prevent kidney stones! Who knew! This is a good product but I think they went to far trying to add "fizz".... the effect was negative while the previous products are great!

Best one yet
Best tasting Metamucil if you enjoy carbonation. Less sweet than regular (even the no added sugar version felt a bit overly sweet to me). Lemonade is a close second but a bit too expensive. Wish it would come with a scoop but I saved one from a different product and dropped it into the jar here.

Great product, dislike new 43oz size
Works well. Prefer the “fizzy” formula over all others. I recommend adding powder to your cup, fill 30-50% with cold water, then use a small handheld milk frother to blend. It’ll “foam” then settle, add you can add more water. (If you fill the whole cup with water right away it’ll overflow when it foams up.) I prefer to drink it quickly, before it starts to thicken into a heavy gel/paste. 3 star rating for 2 reasons: 1) Strongly dislike the food coloring! 2) They recently changed container size and shape. It used to be a 29oz cylinder, now it’s 43oz and more like a tub. The new format is too large for my kitchen vitamin drawer + too wide and heavy to grab with one hand. (I’ve included side by side pics here - didn’t think to take them until I’d already removed the 43oz label for recycling.) I saved my last 29oz canister and I’ve been decanting powder from the 43oz, keeping the 43oz in pantry storage.

Great product
I have been using Metamucil for a long time! I can tell a difference in using the plain and the vitamin variety. I feel a more energetic. I will not use this variety close to bedtime. It does fizz a lot. Only add a small amount of water to the glass and after the fizz settles down add more water. Great product!
