What Is Orange jubilee?
Orange Jubilee is a stunning cactus that produces fragrant white flowers with a touch of yellow and orange in the center. This is a perfect flowering specimen for indoor decor and wondrous scenting, to say the least. These plants grow big so that they fill your space. However, you should note that this plant can be poisonous.
Orange jubilee Care & Maintenance:
Orange jubilee should be watered with lukewarm water and then use a spray mister to keep the plant hydrated. It is easy to let them face blooming.
You should also make sure to fertilize the soil during the spring months with an all-purpose cactus food at half strength every other week. They are not common to insect attack or disease except for their succulent leaves, so you don’t have to worry about that much in this regard.
Orange jubilee flowers start off white but mature into salmon-pink clusters of tiny bell-like flowers that smell divinely sweet when they bloom in late winter/early springtime before new growth emerges.
Being one of the more popular varieties, Orange jubilee is also one of the easiest to propagate. You can take stem cuttings or even leaves as they often root easily.
Light Requirements:
These plants are not common to insect attack or disease except for their succulent leaves, so you don’t have to worry about that much in this regard. Orange jubilee can give great shade when it’s placed along the south side of your home with a bit of filtered sun coming through the southern window in order to flower well and thrive in your indoor environment.
Orange Jubilee is such an easy-to-grow cactus that is perfect for beginners. It has naturalized itself into areas along coastal California from Santa Barbara County northward up to Mendocino County and other areas where it enjoys sunny conditions most during summer months while tolerating light frost during wintertime.
Water Requirements:
The leaves of the cactus are thick, fleshy, and succulent with some growing up to a foot long. It grows in rock cavities or on cliff faces in coastal areas where it is exposed to high winds and salt spray but also dry conditions so its root system is shallow and able to retain water.
The large flowers can be over 1 foot (30 cm) wide. In habitat, they bloom all year round when night temperatures remain above 45 °F (7 °C).
This plant likes full sun or partial shade, which seems paradoxical for a cactus! If you live where it’s wintertime during the summer months, then cut back on watering as this plant doesn’t like wet roots especially if your home tends to be on the cool side.
Soil Requirements:
Soil should be some sort of well-drained cactus mix.
During the spring months, you should supplement your potting soil with all-purpose plant food that offers a complete nutritional package in order to keep the plant healthy and beautiful during its blooming cycles.

Orange jubilee is generally grown as a houseplant these days since it’s so easy to care for here, but it is native to coastal areas from Santa Barbara County northward up into Mendocino County where it enjoys sunny conditions most during summer months while tolerating light frost during wintertime.

Since it is so easy to grow in these indoor conditions, repotting Orange jubilee isn’t really necessary unless there are dead or damaged roots which then need to be trimmed away entirely or simply add more soil if needed.

Bring this plant in at the beginning of the fall and allow it to become accustomed to its indoor environment for a week or two before returning it to its usual greenhouse location for the winter months when night temperatures average around 50 degrees.
Propagation Requirements:
Plantlets will form on the sides of mature cactus joints, which can be carefully removed from their habitat with small pruning shears but as they are still rooted into the soil, they must be transplanted immediately so that they don’t dry out before their new homes.
After removing them, keep them moist until you have prepared your potting mix, and make sure that you clean away any litter from around the area to allow for new root development.
Orange Jubilee needs a period of cold to continue into fruition. This means that in mid-spring, you should place your plants outdoors on sunny days and bring them indoors as soon as the temperature falls below 50 degrees at night, which is from late October through early April depending upon where you live.
Orange jubilee Problems:
As with all succulents, overwatering is the main cause of death. These plants need water infrequently, say once a week or maybe even less than that.
Other problems include fungal infections as well as insects such as spider mites and mealybugs. Fungal problems can usually be treated with an anti-fungal spray while sucking insects are harder to get rid of but spraying them with insecticidal soap may help if other measures aren’t working out for you.
While not exactly common, Orange Jubilee will still fall prey to typical cactus diseases such as root rot which happens when the soil remains damp for prolonged periods which invites bacteria and fungus growth.
Root rot can be avoided by letting the soil dry between watering but if your plant develops root rot, then it is best to simply repot your plant and discard the affected parts.
If you’re concerned that your cactus may be infected with a disease caused by something other than fungi or insects, ensure that you isolate it from other plants and inspect its roots for discoloration (i.e. black) before bringing it in for a diagnosis.
