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.

Purchased from a local plant lady, after several months of nothing at all, finally a growth! Looks like an alien mouth up close, Haha! We shall see what becomes of it. :)

I am not sure exactly what this plant is, (I call him Harry) but it gets Queen of the night like flowers that open over night - almost dinner plate size. This is the largest hanging pot I have so I guess I will have to split it into two pots next year. I have had this for roughly 8 years. By the way, Crazy Giant Plant tagged in this post, came to me in this hanging pot in 2016!😳😳😳 #queenofthenight #epiphyllum #nightbloomingcactus #hangingplant

When or does it ever bloom? If so for how long? TY #DutchmansPipe

I have 3 blooms on Tupot Amaroot! Night blooming cereus or Dutchman’s pipe. If I’m lucky enough to watch it open, I’ll share! Fabulous 🪴 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Root rot?? My Queen of the Night cactus began turning yellow and the bottom turned brown within the past two weeks. I pruned a bit and decreased watering, but no improvements yet. The only changes have been the grow light has been on more often lately and of course the temperature change. Any advice helps a ton!!

This little #EpiphyllumMagisGold cutting had a rough time in the mail. Etsy resurrected an address I has deleted months ago, overrode my default address, and had the seller send it to my old address (I still live in the same town, but different apartment). I’m *super* thankful to my local post office for helping me track it down! Still, two extra nights in 20ish degree weather was far from ideal. Wish me luck, #CactusClique ! #MaybeItWillLive #OrchidCactus #Epiphyllum #RarePlants

Merry Christmas from my newest, smallest leaf.
