What kind of fertilizer should I use for epiphyllum?

#DutchmansPipe
5” pot with drainage

For my orchid cacti, I mix 1/2 strength Super Thrive Foilage Pro. While actively growing, do not fertilize in fall or winter.

They are very susceptible to over fertilization so err on the side of caution and use less. So 1/2 strength or less. πŸ’•
@SupplePuriri13 A Dutchman’s Pipe cactus doesn't require heavy fertilization. A balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer) is sufficient. Use a fertilizer with a relatively balanced NPK ratio (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20). Hope this helps, Happy Growing!
I used this Joyful Dirt when I propagated the cuttings, I got from a friend in early May. And this is where she is at now doing all kinds of fun stuff. Some of the stems were too long, so I cut them and stuck them in the dirt too, and they’re starting to grow as well.
