Complete method of propagating false epiphyllum

Cutting propagation of Epiphyllum pseudophthisis

Cuttings can be taken between March and April. You need to cut about 5 nodes of the strong and deformed stems, and then you can insert them into the hotbed and directly into the culture soil.

Remember to keep the soil moist. It will take about 40 days for the plants to take root. At this time, let the cut ends dry slightly. When you observe that the young roots turn from white to yellowish brown, you can start potting them.

Secondly, prepare the potting soil. First put organic fertilizer in the potting soil, then put in soil, and then plant the seedlings.

After planting, just carry out normal maintenance.

Grafting propagation of Pseudo-ephemeral cereus

Grafting of Epiphyllum sphaerocephalum is usually carried out in spring and autumn.

The rootstocks used for grafting are mostly Opuntia, Leaf Cactus and Leaf Cactus. If you use Hylocereus as the rootstock, you need to graft a scion on each of the three edges;

If you use cactus for grafting, you need to cut a hole at the top of the scion, not too big, just moderate. Then use a blade to shave off the surface cortex on both sides of the base of the scion to expose the wood, and then directly insert the cutting into the cut of the rootstock.

Note that you should also cover the grafted seedlings with plastic film to protect the health of the grafted seedlings from invasion by bacteria and other harmful substances, and then place them in a shaded place for maintenance.

Finally, the grafted seedlings can be transplanted after they have taken root and sprouted.
