It takes several years for the epiphyllum to bloom.
Compared to the green plant and flower planting content of epiphyllum which takes several years to bloom and the pruning methods for most people, the editor will introduce the following.
Today, let the editor provide you with an in-depth interpretation of the common problems and basic maintenance points of epiphyllum. Don't miss it when you pass by!
First, how many years does it take for a young plant to meet the prerequisites for blooming?
In principle, only epiphyllum cultivated for more than three years can be considered to have basically met the minimum requirements for flowering, and it can bloom grandly from June to October of the same year. During this period, the flowering situation of this plant is relatively special. If it were to be described in four words, it would be 'short and powerful'. Don't be fooled by its short blooming time, which is only two to three hours. The momentary beauty it brings is far superior to many other plants. Perhaps, this is the unique charm of epiphyllum!
Additionally, regarding how to promote the healthy and fast blooming of epiphyllum, the editor suggests that everyone can focus on two aspects: reasonable temperature control and regular fertilization. The former refers to the optimal growth temperature of the plant, which is usually around 20℃. The latter means to insist on applying a moderate liquid fertilizer every twenty days or so to ensure the plant has sufficient nutrient base for growth.
Second, when is the best time to repot the plant?
First of all, the best season for repotting epiphyllum is undoubtedly the warm and gentle spring. Normally, the average daily temperature at this time is about 12℃. If people can finish repotting before it officially germinates new buds, it will not have a significant adverse effect on the normal growth of the plant and is more conducive to its stable adaptation and seedling recovery.

Next, some important precautions during the repotting process of epiphyllum.
1. It is best to avoid extreme weather conditions when handling it to prevent affecting plant growth and invisibly prolonging the seedling recovery time, leading to many uncontrollable accidents.
2. When raising young plants, it is recommended not to be lazy and to change the pot and soil at least once a year, while for mature plants, the interval can be moderately extended to once every 2-3 years.
3. The entire repotting process should be careful and gentle to protect the fragile and tender fibrous roots.
4. The new soil to be used should have the characteristics of being loose and breathable, good drainage, fertile, and rich in humus, and it must be thoroughly disinfected before each use.
Third, can epiphyllum be normally grafted onto a cactus? In other words, can it successfully complete the grafting with a cactus like Disocactus Ackermannii?
It can be confirmed that epiphyllum and cactus come from the same plant "family" and have some kinship, so generally speaking, they do have the possibility of grafting. Moreover, according to the editor's knowledge, the grafting success rate of these two plants is relatively high. However, in order for the entire grafting process to proceed smoothly, there are a few points that everyone should pay special attention to. 1. The scion should be a strong branch that is growing well and free from diseases; 2. Reasonable temperature control; 3. Choose the right timing to start; 4. The plant can be grown in a pot in the room, but it should not be kept in the bedroom for a long time.
