Fertilizing the Epiphyllum has its tricks: it will bloom abundantly and as large as lotus flowers

The Epiphyllum in bloom is stunningly beautiful, with rich colors. If you want the Epiphyllum to bloom large and abundantly, besides normal care, you also need to master fertilizing techniques. Fertilizing is different at each stage. Correct and reasonable fertilizing makes the Epiphyllum's leaves emerald green and its blooms gorgeous. Below, we introduce the fertilizing methods for the Epiphyllum!

Fertilizing techniques for the Epiphyllum:

(1). Before planting or when repotting, apply some base fertilizer to the potting soil. You can mix an appropriate amount of base fertilizer into the soil, which can provide the nutrients the plant needs for growth and ensure better growth of the plant.

(2). During the Epiphyllum's growing period, its demand for nutrients is relatively large, so fertilizing should be appropriately increased. Generally, apply a nitrogen-based fertilizer once about every 15 days, which can provide sufficient nutrients and is beneficial to the plant's growth.

(3). Before the Epiphyllum blooms, fertilizing needs to be increased. Blooming consumes nutrients, so to ensure the quantity and quality of the flowers, you must maintain sufficient nutrients so the plant blooms more and more gorgeously beautiful.

(4). In winter, growth is slow and nutrient needs are low. Fertilizing once throughout the whole winter can meet the growth needs. Also, do not apply too concentrated or excessive fertilizer, otherwise, because the nutrients are not absorbed in time, it will cause root rot. During this period, you can prune off overly long side branches and new shoots.

(5). The Epiphyllum should be fertilized with diluted fertilizer. The fertilizer must be diluted: on one hand, it allows the roots to absorb it better; on the other hand, you don't have to worry about burning the plant and causing yellow leaves.
