The Brahma Kamal plant, scientifically known as Saussurea obvallata, thrives in a near-neutral pH range of 5.5 to 7, with 6.5 being ideal for most home gardens. To determine the current pH of your soil, an accurate soil test is essential. If your soil is too acidic (sour), you can counteract it by applying finely ground limestone. Conversely, if it is too alkaline (sweet), treat it with ground sulfur.
Brahma Kamal prefers full sunlight and requires medium watering. Applying any organic fertilizer will help it flourish. This rare and mythological plant from India is considered sacred. It is commonly known as night-blooming cereus, queen of the night, and lady of the night, as its stunning, lotus-like flowers bloom late at night.
The plant’s captivating blooms, often referred to as Brahma Kamal, Queen of the Night, Nishagandhi, Brahmakamal, Gul-e Bakawali, or Epiphyllum oxypetalum, are a sight to behold. Owning one of these live plants means having a piece of botanical history and mythology in your garden. It is not only a beautiful addition to your home garden but also holds cultural and spiritual significance.
