How to fertilize Epiphyllum pumilum
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Epiphyllum pumilum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Red tips on Epiphyllum oxypetalum (Queen of the night) Had her for a couple months. She’s doing fantastic. I have her under a Spider Farmer SF1000 grow light. At about 12 inches away. I noticed this week bright red tips on new shoots and tips of leaves. Temp is consistent 22 Celsius. 70% humidity. Dry loose soil. Are these flower shoots? I can’t tell , first time owning one. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #GrowLights #OrchidLovers

Happy little bloom last night :)

This is a very late post but long story short: I had to chop and restart my orchid cacti a few months back and after some struggles of leaf burning and thoughts of no hope. There is one new little growth that has decided to show itself to me. I'm not gonna lie, I thought she was a goner. I cannot explain how happy I am. #dutchmanspipe #orchidcactus #newgrowth #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict

“Queen of the Night” has leaves that seem wrinkled. I just got a plant someone was getting rid of and I’m trying to save her… the leaves are pretty wrinkled. More water? I want to help her!

My plant is four years old and has never gotten a bud or a flower. What’s up with that? #DutchmansPipe

I have had this plant for about 20 years (it was a start from my grandmother’s). It has developed very woody stems from roots. I think this is probably due to its age. Any thoughts or suggestions. Several blossoms this summer 😊 #DutchmansPipe
