The propagation of Epiphyllum can be divided into two types: cutting and sowing.Cutting propagation should select strong leafy stems, about 20 to 30 centimeters long.Then cut in 2-3 sections, flatten the base, cut the mouth dry and insert into the sand bed.The soil should be kept moist, the temperature should be controlled at about 18 to 24 degrees Celsius, and the roots will grow in about 20 days.
Sowing propagation is generally carried out in the way of cross breeding. It takes a long time from sowing to flowering, four to five years, so cutting propagation is generally the main method.It is necessary to water after cutting, and you can water it immediately when you just cut.However, the amount of watering should be well controlled, not excessive, too much water will affect its growth.After watering, you can slowly straighten the crooked branches, which should be lighter to avoid damaging the branches that have just been cut.It can also be sprayed with a small spray, during which the soil layer should be kept wet, which is very helpful for its rooting, can make the root grow faster and better.
