What fertilizer should be used for fertilizing Epiphyllum? Can it be fertilized when the flower buds are growing?

1. What fertilizer to use for fertilization

1. Spring: Nitrogen fertilizer should be the main fertilizer in spring, because spring is the growth period of Epiphyllum, and it needs sufficient nutrient supply, about once every twenty days.

2. Summer: In summer, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers should be used as the main fertilizers. Because the temperature is relatively high in summer, the Epiphyllum will slowly enter a dormant period. Its growth rate will slow down during the dormant period, so it is sufficient to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once in the summer.

3. Autumn: In autumn, the main fertilizer should be decomposed liquid fertilizer. This is the growth period of Epiphyllum, and it should be given enough nutrients. You can apply some decomposed liquid fertilizer once every fifteen days or so.

4. Winter: Stop fertilizing in winter. The temperature is relatively low in winter and the Epiphyllum will stop growing. Therefore, you should stop fertilizing at this time and move it indoors for insulation.

2. Can I apply fertilizer when the flower buds are growing?

You can apply some boron fertilizer to Epiphyllum when it is growing flower buds, because lack of boron fertilizer will cause the flower buds to fall off, so just add some boron fertilizer appropriately during the flower bud period. Remember not to apply nitrogen fertilizer, as additional nitrogen fertilizer will cause the flower buds to fall off. Appropriate protection should be provided during the bud growth period, otherwise it will affect the normal growth and flowering of Epiphyllum.
