Epiphyllum blooms at midnight in autumn and lasts for several hours. Epiphyllum is a kind of flower with great personality, belonging to cactus family. This kind of flower only blooms at night, and the flowering time is relatively short, only a few hours. Generally speaking, in the morning, epiphyllum will automatically close. Epiphyllum is a very simple and elegant flower with fresh and elegant fragrance. In autumn, epiphyllum blooms every night, which is very beautiful.
If you want the epiphyllum to bloom beautifully, you must see that it is a strong flower. If you want the epiphyllum to bloom night after night and the leaves grow thick and wide, you need to give enough light. If the epiphyllum is placed in weak light for a long time, only the leaves will not bloom, and the leaves will become thinner and longer. This is not a good thing for the growth of epiphyllum. So in the daytime, if you keep epiphyllum at home, you need to move it to a sunny and ventilated place, so that the epiphyllum can receive enough light, so as to ensure its normal flowering.
Pay attention to watering and water thoroughly. If you want to make the leaves of epiphyllum broad and fertile, the flowering period will be extended to a certain extent, and you should keep adequate watering in the autumn flowering season. Autumn is the vigorous period of epiphyllum growth. At this time, it is necessary to water the epiphyllum more. Because epiphyllum is a cactus plant, many friends think that if you water it too much, the roots will rot. But in fact, if the soil is loose when farming at home, as long as the principle of thorough watering is adhered to, there is no big problem, but it will absorb more water and grow better.
Regular fertilization and topdressing. In autumn, if epiphyllum wants to blossom and grow thick leaves, it is necessary to apply sufficient fertilizer to epiphyllum. When choosing fertilizers, we try to choose fertilizers with high phosphorus content. In the growth process of epiphyllum, there are not many other elements missing, but phosphorus, as the main fertilizer to promote flower buds and buds, needs a lot of supply. Potassium and nitrogen can play a great role in the growth of leaves. Proper application of some compound fertilizers can make the leaves of epiphyllum become very wide and thick, and the roots of epiphyllum will grow thicker and stronger.
It is worth noting that the fertilization time is only 1 to 2 times a month. Don't apply fertilizer too often, otherwise it will lead to epiphyllum growing in vain. In the process of flowering, proper topdressing can make the growth of epiphyllum more vigorous, the root system is very developed, and the cold tolerance can be strengthened in winter.
In a word, the above are the main points about the maintenance of epiphyllum. When planting at home, remember to ensure that the soil is loose and breathable, choose a slightly moderate flowerpot, put it in a sunny place in autumn, and ensure adequate watering and fertilization, so that epiphyllum can bloom all autumn and night.
