How long does the blooming period of Epiphyllum last? What does blooming mean?

1. How long is the flowering period?

The flowering period of Epiphyllum is from June to October. The flowering period is relatively short. It usually blooms at 8 or 9 o'clock and will wither after about 3-4 hours of blooming, so the flowers will wither at 3 o'clock in the morning. Moreover, it only blooms once a year, so the night-blooming cereus represents beautiful but short-lived things. It grows with many branches, and different branches and leaves bloom at different times, so people mistakenly believe that it can bloom multiple times.

2. What does flowering represent?

Epiphyllum is different from other plants. It is rare to see it bloom. Its blooming is a sign that good things are about to happen and is a good omen. Its flower language is also very good, which is a moment of beauty and a second of eternity. Because its flowering time is very short but it is very beautiful, it is often used to describe beautiful but short-lived things. It also represents lightning and fleeting moments, and is known as a flash in the pan.

3. Omens before flowering

In fact, there will be a sign when it is about to bloom. The flower stem is hooked and the top of the flower bud is facing upwards. When the cultivated Epiphyllum shows this behavior, it means it is about to bloom. It takes at least three years for it to bloom. A shorter maintenance period, low temperature or insufficient nutrients will affect its normal flowering. Therefore, if you want to make it bloom, you need to carry out reasonable maintenance according to its growth habits.
