prunePruning of the false epiphyllum is very important, especially after the flowering period, it must be pruned as soon as possible, at least once. Pruning at this time mainly involves cutting off old branches, dead branches, and weak and overly dense branches. This can reduce the nutrient consumption of the plant during its dormant period. The new branches that grow in the spring of the following year will be healthier and stronger, and the flowers that bloom will be more colorful and numerous. FertilizationAfter the flowers of the false night-blooming cereus wither, it is necessary to apply one or two top dressings, and it is best to use a thin fertilizer mainly composed of nitrogen. Phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be added every twenty days or so to replenish nutrients to the soil until late autumn to prepare for wintering. WateringAfter the flowering period of the false night-blooming cereus, you should gradually reduce watering, and normally you just need to keep the soil from being too dry. Because the temperature is high after the flowers of the false night-blooming cereus fall, the flower will begin to dormant. At this time, its physiological activities are reduced and the absorption capacity of the roots drops sharply. If you do not pay attention to reducing watering, it will easily cause a large number of branches and leaves of the plant to fall off, and root rot may occur, or even directly lead to the death of the plant. RepottingThe false night-blooming cereus has a short period of semi-dormant state after flowering, and this is the most suitable time to repot. When repotting, you need to clean all the roots of the false epiphyllum, remove the rotten, old and diseased roots, and only keep the healthy and strong roots, so as to maintain the air permeability of the root system. All the old soil should be poured out and replaced with new soil rich in humus for replanting. If you want to hang up the fake Epiphyllum to decorate the room, you can plant the flower in a shallow flowerpot and use some moss as the growing medium for the plant. After the plant slowly adapts and recovers, you can hang it up for decoration and appreciation. |
