In fact, the blooming time of Epiphyllum is generally from June to October. It will bloom for 3 or 4 hours at night, but it can indeed bloom continuously. Generally, Epiphyllum can bloom continuously 4 or 5 times a year.

How to grow Epiphyllum so that it blooms

Although we know that Epiphyllum can bloom several times a year, in order to appreciate its beauty, we still need to take good care of it during its growth period so that it may bloom more.

If you want the Epiphyllum to bloom more, you must grasp two key points: one is good growth, and the other is the accumulation of nutrients. Good growth depends on daily maintenance. Only when the plant grows strong can it bloom. Light, temperature, water and fertilizer all need to meet the needs of Epiphyllum, and care should also be taken to avoid diseases and pests. Reasonable pruning of the plants can not only adjust the relationship between the main and side branches, but also make the Epiphyllum have more branches, so that it can naturally bloom more. The accumulation of nutrients is mainly through the application of water and fertilizer. Water and fertilizer management should be carried out normally during the growing period, but when the flower buds begin to appear on the Epiphyllum, water and fertilizer should be controlled. Wait until the flower buds appear to maintain sufficient supply of water and fertilizer, and apply phosphorus fertilizer to make the flowers large and colorful. After flowering, limit watering and stop fertilizing to allow the plant to go dormant.

It should be noted that if you want the Epiphyllum to bloom more times, you can apply phosphorus fertilizer once every half a month after the first flower withers, and keep the soil in the pot dry, so that it may bloom once a month.
