Epiphyllum flower fertilizer
Epiphyllum is better with decomposed organic fertilizer, plus a small amount of bone meal or superphosphate.
1. Nitrogen fertilizer: Nitrogen fertilizer is beneficial to the growth of Epiphyllum leaves and enhances its photosynthesis. 2. Potassium fertilizer: Potassium fertilizer can be used in combination with nitrogen fertilizer to make the branches, stems and leaves of Epiphyllum grow stronger. 3. Iron fertilizer: Also known as ferrous sulfate, this fertilizer is also suitable for Epiphyllum.Epiphyllum flower fertilizer making method
Put the soybean residue into the tank, add 10 times clear water for fermentation, about 10 days in summer, about 20 days in spring and autumn. Then add 10 times clear water to mix evenly, and use it to irrigate Epiphyllum.Epiphyllum fertilizer usage method
1. The fertilizer is mainly decomposed cake fertilizer, diammonium phosphate and dipotassium dihydrogen phosphate, plus a small amount of bone meal or superphosphate. It is added when preparing the soil, mixed with the pot soil evenly, and the application amount is 1/20 to 1/30 of the pot soil. 2. After the new stems of Epiphyllum grow in spring, start top dressing. During the growth period, if the leaves turn yellow, top dress with 500 times ferrous sulfate solution once. Stop watering fertilizer water after flower buds appear, keep the pot soil moist during the flowering period, avoid too dry or too wet, top dress with 1000 times dipotassium dihydrogen phosphate once, and remove the new buds on the teratoma stem of Epiphyllum in time during the bud stage to concentrate nutrients on flower buds. After flowering, prune in time, remove old branches, and apply 1 to 2 times nitrogen fertilizer appropriately. What should I do if the leaves of Epiphyllum fall off due to excessive fertilizer? Soak the pot soil of Epiphyllum in clear water to take away nutrients, or water the plants, but remove the water after watering. Notes on watering Epiphyllum: 1. Summer is the vigorous growth period of Epiphyllum, and the demand for water and fertilizer is large. Keep the pot soil moist, apply a thin fertilizer every 10 days, and avoid excessive nitrogen fertilizer; 2. Pay attention to pruning, remove the weak buds at the top and upper part of the teratoma stem of Epiphyllum, and retain the strong buds in the middle and lower part.Statement: This article "What is the appropriate fertilizer for Epiphyllum" is compiled by flower friends.

Can Epiphyllum be hydroponic?
Epiphyllum can be hydroponic, but it is not suitable for long-term breeding in water, which will shorten its life span and insufficient nutrient supply, reduce the probability of flowering, so more people will still choose soil cultivation, so that the flowering time and survival time will be longer, which is conducive to people's daily ornamental use.

2. Leaf pruning:
Before hydroponic Epiphyllum, the older parts of the branches and leaves need to be removed, especially those over 2 years old, and the leaves at the end of the branches also need to be removed to prevent nutrient loss.
3. Container:
Hydroponic Epiphyllum needs to choose a suitable container, and the caliber is mostly around 10cm, the depth is generally between 8-15cm, and the material is generally glass, which will look more beautiful after the roots of Epiphyllum take root and germinate.
