Don't know how to propagate epiphyllum? I'll let you in on a secret, if you get it right in one step, you can harvest a large pot in 15 days.
Epiphyllum is well known to everyone, its maintenance is very simple, and it can easily survive indoors. Its leaves are evergreen all year round and can be placed indoors for both beauty and air purification. It mainly propagates through cutting. Many plant enthusiasts don't know how to propagate, so today, Xiaoqi is here to tell you about it.
Epiphyllum propagation, its rooting speed is related to temperature and humidity. If the temperature is low, its root growth speed is relatively slow, and it's normal for the leaves not to recover their vitality without roots. First of all, when propagating epiphyllum, we must remember to choose branches with aerial roots. One leaf can be used as a cutting, leaving 2 to 3 centimeters at both ends of the leaf, and then using loose and breathable soil. Xiaoqi usually uses nutrient soil for propagation directly. We can also use a mixture of decomposed leaf soil and river sand in a 1:1 ratio. Then insert the branches directly into the soil, preferably with the aerial roots inserted into the soil, and the leaves don't need to be cut off.
After inserting, place it in a place with scattered light and good ventilation, water it thoroughly, and add some root-promoting liquid to the water. During this period, if the soil dries up by one or two centimeters, water it thoroughly in time. If the temperature can be kept above 15 degrees, it will start to root within 1 to 2 weeks, and the leaves will not wilt. Moreover, buds will grow at the junction of the leaves and stems, starting to grow new lateral buds and branches. If the temperature is too low, it will not root, and the leaves will wilt, which is normal. During the rooting period, keep the potting soil moist, expose it to scattered light, and ensure good ventilation to make it root quickly.
Actually, epiphyllum propagation is very simple. As long as the branches are sturdy and not wilted, with aerial roots, they can survive after being inserted. Whether using water propagation or soil propagation, they can root quickly. After rooting, transplant them into new potting soil. We can also insert multiple branches into a large pot, allowing them to root and sprout directly. Growing them in a large pot, ensuring sufficient watering and fertilization, can make them bloom quickly.
The above sharing of how to propagate epiphyllum to make it bloom and the comprehensive knowledge explanation of teaching epiphyllum propagation methods and skills hope to help you.
