Brahma Kamal, scientifically known as Saussurea obvallata, is a rare and sacred flowering plant native to the high altitudes of the Himalayas in India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Tibet. Revered in Hindu mythology, this mystical flower is named after Lord Brahma, the creator god. It holds deep spiritual and cultural significance, especially in temples like Kedarnath and Badrinath, where it is offered during rituals.
This perennial herb blooms only once a year, usually during the monsoon season (July to September), and most remarkably, the flower opens at night and wilts by morning. The bloom is short-lived but stunning, with large, white, lotus-like flowers emerging from leafy green bracts. The plant grows at elevations of 3,000 to 4,500 meters and thrives in cold, rocky, alpine environments.
Caring for the Brahma Kamal plant, especially the commonly cultivated Epiphyllum oxypetalum, requires a balance of indirect sunlight, moderate watering, and well-draining soil. This night-blooming cactus prefers bright but indirect light, as too much direct sun can scorch its leaves. Water the plant only when the top layer of soil feels dry, avoiding overwatering which can cause root rot. Use a porous, well-draining soil mix—such as cactus or orchid mix—to mimic its native epiphytic environment. The plant thrives in warm, humid conditions, so occasional misting can help, especially in dry climates. Fertilize with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Prune gently to shape the plant and encourage blooming. With proper care, the plant will reward you with stunning, fragrant flowers that bloom at night—usually once or twice a year—bringing with them a sense of mystery and spiritual beauty.
