Epiphyllum Cactus, Pruning And Cuttings
My Epiphyllum hybrid cactus has been a little neglected over the past year as its too large to stand up in its pot. In this video I cut it back hard in order to stand the pot back upright and also so I can make new plants from the cuttings. In a future video I will repot the Epiphyllum into a larger pot to make sure it doesn't fall over again.
The update video can be found here: • Epiphyllum Cactus Cutt...

They have such amazing flowers, they are some of the largest flowers of any cactus. I always look forward to late spring when my plant comes into flower.
My 90+ year old neighbor gave me cuttings. I hope they make it! I don't want to have the awkward conversation with her about how I couldn't keep them alive!
you should put the plant in a planter with a hole on its side (designed that way) and then hang it up by the ceiling! it’d look really great!

I've done something similar, I've planted them up into a wall mounted planter so that they can trail down. They also look great in a hanging basket.
Waiting for the update! I have a HUGE one and will have tons of cuttings to share.

Hello: I just purchased some eppies from a Canadian grower on Vancouver Island. After watching your video, I knew how to plant them. Now, I am very anxious to see how your plants are coming. Please shot a video to let us all know. Thank you.

I've just made an update video, apologies for the two year wait. I promise the next update won't be another two year wait.
Thank you for sharing, very helpful. Can I have the name of this Epi hybrid shown in the video?
I never seen before the flower of this cactus.
What is the best time to prune the epiphyllum? I have one that's just getting ready to bloom and I don't want to compromise the bloom. Should I wait until after?
Awesoooommmmme 😍 from one u could get more hahah 😊

I'm not sure where they will all fit if they all take root, but I'll certainly keep several of them, I love how big the flowers are in spring.
Perfect timing since I need to cut mine too. Thanks for the video

if you just stabilize them with bamboo steaks and a heavy clay pot they will bloom much better and larger.
ok... you wanted to plant more epiphyllums from the cuttings... but why didn't you repotted the plant to a bigger pot and have also some cuttings from that?
Thank you for sharing. I'm new at this epiphyllum thing and do hungry for more information about the care. I recently saw some brown/orange parts on my plant. Should I worry? Please help 🤗

If it's not spreading or soft I wouldn't worry, those marks can either be caused by physical damage or too much sunlight. Epiphyllum cacti don't like midday sun unlike most cacti.
Do you still have these for an update? Mine finally rooted I got in a trade and I’m interested to see how they produce new growth!

Yes, they have grown a lot in two years, I have just uploaded an update video. The new growth can take a while to appear, but once started they usually grow quickly.
Hello, I am interrested in Epiphyllum subtropical cactus. I also do make cuttings for more new plants. I do watch many video and read information about those kind of plants. I did it first at the traditional way, take a cutting from a plant, let it dry some time, next put it in the ground in a pot, no watering the ground, only showering the leaf, sometimes unther a transparant pot for higher air damp. Later I went experimental taking cuttings in many ways. BUt my best experiance is taking cuttings and put those in clear water ( chance the water sometimes), and in summertime the roots might come in a few weeks till six weeks. Next I pot it up in ground and can water soon litlle bits. In between let dry out the ground compleetly. The roots might rot if staying to long in wet ground. I wanted to share my experiance. May be you can make a video about this in futhure? Succes with your plant hobby. Greeting, Marcel.

what epiphyllum has 3 side vine and look like a Dragon fruit plant but not a DF, when i bought it from the nursery the tag just written as epiphyllium that all. No other name on it, very thin look exactly like DF but lot smaller and lengthy.
What size is this pot?Than you.

Would leaf propagation work for agave?

I've never tried it myself, but yes I think Agave would propagate from leaf cuttings. Although its normally easier to use the pups.

@Gardeningat58N

If the cuts have dried out and calloused over you can water them as soon as they are in the soil. Epiphyllum cacti like a lot more water than normal cacti, so keep the soil damp over spring and summer.

Can you cut these back at anytime of year??
@Gardeningat58N
9 ай бұрын
Yes pretty much, avoid cutting when they are in bloom or have flower buds, also early summer is best as they will root faster, but you can also do it at other times of the year, they just root a little slower.

Are these plants good air cleaners?
@Gardeningat58N

No I wouldn't think so, the best plants for cleaning the air are generally those with lots of leaves, this cactus will still clean the air, but just more slowly.
