Question
I have been wondering about the name and habitat and origin of the following plant. It has a woody like stem which is brown on the lower part and green (cactuss-like) on the middle and top part of the stem. Leaves are only present on the top part of the plant. The leaves are thick, large, dark green beautiful leaves where the veins are very clearly visible. I hope this along with the image will be enough information.
Answer
Dear timzl123, Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England (i.e., northeastern North America). Cultivated plants from different regions of the world are outside of the realm of expertise offered by Go Botany. That said, a member of the horticultural staff has suggested you plant may be a night blooming cereus. This name (cereus) is applied to as many as ten different genera of cacti in the cactus family. I hope this gives you a starting location to begin your study of this plant. Best wishes.
