The propagation of Epiphyllum usually adopts cutting propagation, and the cutting propagation time is May-June, when the temperature is suitable, which is very helpful for its development. Choosing a thick leaflike stem is more conducive to its rooting. Cut it into sections, then dry it, insert it into a clean sand bed and wait for it to take root. Water the cuttings immediately after cutting, and straighten the skewed cuttings, but don't water them too much.

First, how to breed

There are two kinds of propagation of epiphyllum: cutting and sowing. Cutting propagation should choose strong leaflike stems, about 20 to 30 cm long. Then cut it into 2-3 sections, flatten the base, dry the incision and insert it into the sand bed. The soil should be kept moist, the temperature should be controlled at 18 to 24 degrees Celsius, and roots will grow in about 20 days.

Sowing propagation is usually used for cross breeding. It takes a long time from sowing to flowering, ranging from four to five years, so cutting propagation is generally the main method.

Second, when should I water it when I just plugged it in?

Be sure to water it after cutting, and you can water it immediately after cutting. However, the amount of watering should be well controlled and not excessive. Too much water will affect its growth. After watering, you can slowly straighten the bent branches, and the action should be light, so as not to damage the branches that have just been cut. It can also be sprayed finely, and the soil layer should be kept moist during the period, which is very helpful for its rooting and can make the roots grow faster and better.
