Detailed Introduction to the Blooming Time of Epiphyllum and Its Home Feng Shui
When does Epiphyllum bloom? When Epiphyllum blooms, its flowers are large and beautiful, but it does not bloom during the day. It only opens after 8 or 9 p.m., and what is especially remarkable is that it stays open for only 3-4 hours, very briefly. What leaves a deep impression about Epiphyllum is also its gorgeous and moving appearance when in bloom, but after a few hours it closes its corolla and the flower withers very quickly, so people describe something that disappears very quickly as "a fleeting Epiphyllum appearance." In fact, the reason Epiphyllum blooms for such a short time is related to the climate of its place of origin. It grows in the tropical deserts of Mexico. The high temperatures before 8 or 9 p.m. and the low temperatures after midnight are both unfavorable for blooming. In order to reduce water loss and survive, it gradually developed the habit of blooming for a short time at night.
Epiphyllum likes warm, humid and semi-shaded environments. It is not tolerant of frost and cannot be exposed to strong sunlight, otherwise it will die. Generally, for it to grow healthily, attention should be paid to temperature. From March to September, it should be in an environment of 13-19°C; from September to December, 12-18°C should be maintained; from December to March of the following year, Epiphyllum should be kept at 10-16°C. In particular, note that in winter it must not be below 0°C. At the same time, Epiphyllum should be given fertile, well-drained sandy soil, and air humidity should be maintained. The role of Epiphyllum also occupies a place in feng shui. Reasonable placement can let it play an important function. Beautiful flowers are always so attractive. The value of Epiphyllum is its beauty, and even more its preciousness. If you want to appreciate the brief blooming of Epiphyllum, you must cultivate it carefully.
When does Epiphyllum bloom? Placing a few pots of flowers and plants in the home can beautify the environment, add pleasure, and also regulate air quality, benefiting our health. What role can Epiphyllum play in our lives?
1. Epiphyllum can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night. Although ordinary flowers and plants can purify the air, they only do so during the day. When night comes, they all become like the human body, absorbing oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. Therefore, if too many such flowers and plants are placed indoors, it will cause a phenomenon of flowers competing with people for oxygen, affecting people's health. Epiphyllum is exactly the opposite. It is a common plant with CAM metabolism. It closes the stomata on the underside of its leaves during the day, and at night, after the surrounding ambient temperature drops to an appropriate level, it opens the stomata on the underside of its leaves, releases oxygen, and absorbs carbon dioxide.
2. Epiphyllum can increase the negative ion content indoors. When it blooms, it is beautiful and noble, with a full, delicate fragrance, and has always been a beautiful flower favored by people. Not only that, it can release negative ions, making the indoor air fresh and pleasant. Negative ions can be said to be the vitamins of the air. If the negative ion content in a room decreases, people will feel suffocated and short of breath. Therefore, Epiphyllum, which can increase the concentration of negative ions in the air, is indeed a rare, beautiful and beneficial flower.
3. Epiphyllum is a flower of the Cactaceae family. Through people's vision and smell, it can lower blood pressure and stabilize mood, and has many benefits for human health. Its scent has the ability to sterilize and inhibit bacteria, filling the home environment with a healthy atmosphere.
When does Epiphyllum bloom? Epiphyllum's blooming period each year roughly starts in June and ends in October. Because Epiphyllum blooms at night, it is difficult to see the flowers during the day. Epiphyllum generally blooms from 8-12 at night and withers after about 4-5 hours. When it blooms, it has a delicate fragrance. If you see that the Epiphyllum at home has buds, pay attention at night!
