This exclusive and relatively rare vine cactus belongs to the legendary \"Night Queens\" family and grows as an epiphyte in the tropical rainforests of Central America, gracefully winding around tree trunks. The plant’s greatest pride and hallmark is its stunning, avant-garde silhouette: from the base boldly spread and curve \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"502\"\u003elong, slender, juicy green, and distinctly flat or multi-angled shoots with finely ribbed edges\u003c\/b\u003e. It has a completely unique, minimalist character, as this variety’s spines are barely noticeable, delicate, and soft, highlighting the plant’s pure, sculptural natural lines. But the greatest mystery lies in its name (\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"816\"\u003eSelene\u003c\/i\u003e – the Greek moon goddess): when mature, the plant produces \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"872\"\u003egrand, gigantic flowers in pure snow-white tones that open with royal boldness only at night\u003c\/b\u003e, emitting a gentle, exotic, and pleasant fragrance. This plant is incredibly resilient, air-purifying, and will serve as a living design waterfall.

Since this is already an exceptionally large and strong plant in a generous 17 cm pot, it is extremely stable and will not require repotting for a very long time (even a year or two). By nature, the plant is a distinctive vine – it can be allowed to flow freely downward or be attached to a moss pole or bamboo trellis, around which it will boldly climb upward.
