In the eyes of flower breeders, Epiphyllum is very precious. Although it's easy to keep it, it's not easy to blossom. There are several tips on how to raise Epiphyllum full of flowers. Let's have a look at them.
Epiphyllum likes airy and fluffy acid soil, rotten leaf soil and coconut bran soil are very suitable, but when planting, we need to apply some base fertilizer, that is, first lay a layer of soil at the bottom of the pot, and then add some bone meal, chicken and sheep manure, slow-release fertilizer and so on, to ensure the growth and nutrition of Epiphyllum.
Epiphyllum is similar to pseudoepiphyllum and Christmas Cactus. It likes the environment of astigmatism, i.e. it is relatively bright, but not too sunny. In summer, it must be shaded. In spring and autumn, it can be properly sunbathed, but it can prevent the sun exposure and the west sun exposure. In winter, it can be more sunbathed in cold weather.
Epiphyllum likes relatively wet soil. In spring, summer and autumn, pay attention to watering the basin soil when it is dry, or spray more water around the leaves. When the temperature is below 12 ℃, watering should be reduced, especially in winter, Epiphyllum is semi dormant, and the basin soil should be kept slightly dry to avoid rotten roots.
Epiphyllum is very easy to be cutted and propagated. Cut a leaf (half of it is OK) and put it in the moist soil and put it on the ventilated windowsill. It doesn't need to be exposed to the sun. When the soil is dry, spray it wet. It takes about 10-15 days to take root. It can be transplanted in about one month.
Epiphyllum is still a relatively fat plant. It has a habit of "drinking oil and eating meat". In spring and autumn, burying 2-3 spoonfuls of waste oil in the range hood or fat meat in the basin will make Epiphyllum grow more crazy. However, when burying it, keep away from the root system and avoid burning the root.
