How often does Epiphyllum bloom?

1. How many times a year

Under normal circumstances, it only blooms once a year. Affected by many factors, it is possible from June to October every year. However, if the surrounding environment is suitable, especially if the temperature conditions are met, then the Epiphyllum may bloom four to five times a year, or even as many as six times.

2. Flowering time

Its flowering period is very short. We have all heard of the term "a flash in the pan", which means that its flowering period is very short. Moreover, it blooms at night, so it is easy to be missed, which is a pity. However, it blooms in different months, and its specific flowering time and duration are also different. If it blooms from June to August, then its specific flowering time is around 9 to 10 pm, and it withers at 3 to 4 am, lasting about five or six hours. If it blooms from September to October, then its specific flowering time may be eight o'clock in the evening, and it will not wither until four or five in the morning, lasting eight or nine hours. Therefore, for plants that bloom in the second period, people will have a longer time to enjoy the flowers.

3. Why open at night?

This has a lot to do with temperature and moisture. The temperature is high during the day, evaporation is fast, and there is insufficient water, so the plant does not bloom. It will bloom only at night when the temperature is low and there is enough water.
