Growing Epiphyllum Hylocereus Orchid Cactus

Prepare Cutting

Place your cuttings in a cool, dry place for 1 week or until a callous develops on the cut end.

Once the callouses are there, the cuttings are ready to plant for propagation.

Prepare Pots

Now you have to get your pots ready. Make half-and-half mix of your cactus mix and potting soil.

If you want to take the soil a step further, you can use African violet mix instead of potting soil.

Put the combined soils into the terra cotta pots, filling them about 3/4 the way up.

If you want added drainage you can add oak bark or perlite but this isn’t necessary.

The important thing is that the soil is well-drained. Plant Cuttings

As your pots are ready to take cuttings, you can add your plant cuttings to your soil.

Dip the calloused end of your cutting quickly into rooting hormone, and then stick the cuttings into the soil about 1 inch down.

Do not water the cutting

You should withhold water for the first week that the cutting is in the soil, because this will force the cutting to start rooting for nourishment.

After that week, water gently

Within a few weeks, you should have a rooted epiphyllum cutting
