How many years does it take for Epiphyllum to bloom (how to grow and how to prune)

1. How many years does it take for the plant to bloom?

Generally speaking, it takes about 2-3 years for Epiphyllum to bloom. If it is properly maintained, it may bloom early, but if it is not properly maintained, the flowering time will be prolonged, and it may not bloom even after 4-5 years of cultivation. Therefore, daily maintenance methods are very important.

2. How to raise

1. Light: When caring for Epiphyllum on a daily basis, you should provide it with appropriate light, but it is not suitable for growing under strong light. Except for summer, the lighting in the other three seasons is acceptable.

2. Nutrients: Fertilizer is essential for the plant to bloom. During its growth period, it needs to be fertilized every 15-20 days. Be careful not to give it concentrated fertilizer.

3. Temperature: A growing environment of 15-25℃ should be created for it. Cooling work should be done in summer, and attention should be paid to keeping warm in winter in northern areas.

3. Pruning method

Proper pruning before flowering can also help it bloom, and branches that are not growing well or are too long should be cut off. The purpose of doing this is to avoid unnecessary nutrient loss and accumulate more nutrients for better growth and flowering.
