This "flower" at the doorstep only blooms for 3 hours. Many people have only heard of it but never seen it.

Don’t panic, Huahua is not here to talk to you about palace drama today. I don’t know if you have noticed that there is a plot in these costume dramas where the concubines who want to be favored by the emperor will look at flowers in the place where the emperor is going to pass by, in order to have a chance encounter with the emperor. Although Huahua doesn’t understand this trick, she still feels it is quite useful! Huahua noticed that Epiphyllum is a kind of flower that concubines often go to admire.

It is said that "ephemeral flowers bloom only for a short time", so in order to see the blooming epiphyllum, you really have to wait for the right time. After all, most night-blooming cereus only bloom quietly at night, and the blooming period lasts only three or four hours. Today Huahua wants to talk to you about how to grow the Epiphyllum so that it can bloom?

Epiphyllum is not afraid of anything else but too much water, which may cause root waterlogging, so special attention should be paid when watering. In early spring, winter, and late autumn, the temperature is relatively low. At this time, you must strictly control the amount of watering and try to keep the soil in the pot slightly dry. If you observe that the Epiphyllum is completely dry, you must water it to keep the soil just right, neither dry nor wet.

During the spring growing season, you need to add water to the Epiphyllum and ensure that the soil in the pot is moist. This environment is conducive to the growth of the plant.

In addition to watering, fertilization is also very important. During the growing season of Epiphyllum, apply thin fertilizer every half a month, and apply fertilizer once a month in spring and autumn. This will ensure that the Epiphyllum has enough nutrients, allowing it to grow healthily and bloom more flowers of good quality.

Epiphyllum is somewhat picky about its growing environment. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-25 degrees Celsius, the night temperature should be 16-18 degrees Celsius, and the temperature during the winter should be maintained at 10-12 degrees Celsius. Therefore, this fully requires us to make choices based on our own environment. We cannot just take it home to raise it because we like it. We also need to consider the environment!

These three points are the most important for Epiphyllum. As long as you water it reasonably and scientifically, provide it with sufficient water and an environment suitable for its growth, it will only take some time for it to bloom!

If any of your friends are curious and interested in Epiphyllum, you can grow one in pot at home. Believe me, you will be moved when the flower blooms!
