THE FASTEST AND THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROPAGATE EPIPHYLLUM OR ORCHID CACTUS .

[@abigailvomelmo1167]

Hi 🙂 ! I have an Orchid Cacti/Cactus. I originally saw one in FULL bloom @ a Nursery. It was Breathtaking!!! The gentleman told me it wasn't for sale 😩. Anyway, I asked him for a small piece of a leaf. It was about 4 inches long. Well, I planted it in 1993 & it grew vigorously. It is a very, very, very Happy plant!! In 2011, I lost my mom 😔. In April/May of that year my Cactus had 3 Beautiful flowers. I believe my mom sent them to me 😇😇. It has flowered every year since. I haven't seen any buds on it yet this Spring, maybe it is resting. I propogated two Beautiful plants last year from cuttings, they are doing VERY well. TYFS!!! 👍👍☺️

[@atomicskull6405]

What soil mix are you using? I have found a mix of equal parts azalea/camelia mix, orchid bark and perlite makes for very happy epis that want to bloom a lot. They will limp along in just about anything but acidic well drained airy soil makes for well blooming plants. Also they like a few hours of morning sun and occasional fertilizing with cactus or half strength tomato fertilizer (not houseplant fertilizer it has too much nitrogen)

[@abigailvomelmo1167]

@@atomicskull6405 GREAT information! 🥰. ThnQ for that. Sad to say ☹️, I NEED to repot it. I have hesitated because it is SO BIG!!!!! I'm planning to use Cacti/Cactus Soil. I use "Orchid" Fertilizer.

[@healthy-happy-free]

I tried this method, and it really worked! I cut many at once, put them all in a clear container, left them at my front porch. About 2 weeks, I see roots growing from the bottom!

[@darrellspraggins7966]

I first saw Orchid Cacti when I visited my friend in El Cajon, California. You see the Orchid Cacti everywhere in Southern CA. I live in Ozark, AL and brought back a couple of plants about five years ago. I have never seen another Orchid Cactus in Alabama. It is a shame as they are really easy to grow and have such beautiful flowers. I love them. Thanks for your informative video!

[@stgharding]

We've had a plant for about 20 years. All the plant place told us was it was a "night bloomer". We keep it in our bedroom in a sunny window. Blooms once a year. This year we got two blooms. One grew out of the middle of a leaf and one from a stem. Beautiful plant. Thanks for your info!

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello sttgharding, Your plant have very long life....if you want your plant produce more flowers, in early spring you should use SUPER BLOOMER fertilizer, it’s very good products..... Thanks for watching my videos. Thien

[@atomicskull6405]

Epis don't have real leaves just stems, the flat leaf-like straps are still just stems. The actual leaves are the nodes along the margins where flowers and new stems emerge (these are greatly reduced leaf nodes)

That was a great video and I learned a lot. Thank you very much. I have an epiphyllum that I've had for about 7 years and when it blooms, it has massive cream coloured flowers. As it was getting somewhat unruly, having taken over my coffee table, I decided to separate it about a month ago. It was a no-brainer and I divided it into 4 smaller plants and kept one for myself. Two friends and my brother all ended up with a sibling. In the fall, I'll try your method of propagation to create some more babies and pass them along. I admired how you were able to provide your cacti with an opportunity to grow upright. I will have to try that. Thanks again. Darryl

I have also become enthusiastic about the multiplication of this Epiphyllum species. I started experimenting on cutting soil, in peat pots, on hydro granules with a bottom of water, on Vermiculite, on perlite, on a bottom of moss, in a terrarium, under plastic or glass bell jar and finally on water in a warm, light place without direct sunlight. . The latter makes the cuttings to root quickly, less rotten than with cuttings on sand, but water does change periodically. After rooting, plant the plant cuttings in a soil mix and place in a light, warm place and spray and give minimal water until new growth develops, then lighten the cuttings. Preferably in a window on north or east (gives the most flowers) or on the west behind shade lace or patterned glass. Smallest cuttings made of approximately 2x3 cm successfully developing into large plants.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Thanks for sharing, in the method of put cutting in the water, you should change the water twice a week, and some time shaking the water to give the cutting some oxygen..... Again thanks for watching videos.

[@rhondad6802]

Not sure if you still check your comments long after you produced this video. If so, I have a stupid question that I cannot find on the internet! I’ve exhausted all websites and I don’t know what to do!! I bought 4 stems placed in a pot full of soil. One was a red stem and the three stems are green. I paid $20 - well worth it to me. These stems are straight up, they don’t bend. I bought these 4 stems on May 4, 2021 from an ad on “Nextdoor”. One stem was ~8” tall and strong. The others were 6-8 “ tall. They don’t bend or flip. I am getting these stems off of stems. One original stem I bought is 9.5” tall and 2.5” wide; at the top tip where it narrows, a thin stem is growing straight up and is 6” long but it is skinny, yet stands straight. Am I supposed to cut this off and plant it! Also I have leafs frowning off the other three stems I bought and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. Is this leaf where the flower will bloom?? Am I supposed to cut the fragile leaves that grow from the stems I bought? I spend so much time since I bought these figuring out what I’m supposed to do. One website said it likes to cling onto branches, mine did not like it and did not cling to wood branches. I actually love the upright stems. How does one get a red stem?? This is such an unusual cactus, which is why I bought it. If I can reach you or give you my info in private, please let me know. That is if you have time. I see that you use sticks and strings to hold some of your stems up. Can you explain? Should I do this?? Thank you!!! Rhonda in Florida

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Good morning Rena Daen, Thanks for watching my videos... I have many viewers asking about to put cutting leaves in the water right away or let them dry few weeks before put them in water. Either way is ok, but if you let the cutting leaves dry few weeks, 4-5 weeks then put them in the water,,,then roots will form faster and NO ROTTEN PROBLEMS...... My experience, I cut leaves in October 2018, let them dry in green house until March 2019,,,,,i was in Vietnam for 4 months,,,after I got back , I put them in the water,,,,,( Oregon, cold winter) ,,they have formed healthy roots and no rotten problems.......it warm in Oregon now, I just plant them in the soil...... Good luck and have fun with your project.. Thanks again.

@ Thiet Nahn - When the leaves are cut into V shape do you allow some time to dry prior to soaking in water ? I already transplanted my first one but want to propagate many so I will lile to know because I would think freshly cut into water mean rot...the clear sap should dry- yes! Love your videos just subscribed 👍. Thank you!

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello WJ Miranda, thanks for watching my videos and subscribe... Either way will work, if you put cutting leaves in water right away after cut V shape, result will be the same if you let them dry few weeks or few months.... Most people let them air dry few weeks, because they will plant them in the soil.....( cutting will be heal, and callus) So they will not be rotten....percent of successful is 70% max ,,,,, In the water right away, results could be 99% ,,,, Your choice, or maybe you can try both way, then you can find out,,,,,,just fun project...

FedericoAuditore You should use my method, then give to your friends and children healthy plants. If you give them just cactus leaves, they don’t know what to do.

I have many Epiphyllum !! so I have to do cuttings with a method similar as the one in the video ,... the problema is they all grew !! and now I have so many plants I dont know what to do with them ....I dont have and more room ....!!! They are so beautiful!!! thanks for your videos ......

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Thanks for watching my videos..... Yes, they are very beautiful,,,,,enjoyed...

[@marion8112]

I live in Southern California with miserable soil.....I just stick them in hard soil and they grow and prosper in spite of me. Have them in the ground and planters. I ignore them until they show me how beautiful they are. How can I extend their blooms. On the plant they live for a day or two. In a vase don’t last long...any suggestions /recommendations more than welcomed.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Marion, Thanks for watching my videos. Before you you plant, dig the hole , 15” wide, 15 deep, fill with good soil, a little bit of perlite and fertilizer ( like fish fertilizer or Osmocotte 14-14-14.), and water once a week,,,, you should plant in shade area, only few houses morning sun like under the trees, under th roofs,,,,in shade area , the blooming will last longer. After they mature, about 2 years,,, then you should fertilizer with MOREBLOOM ( ALASKA FERTILIZER) or SUPER BLOOMER, plants will bloom a lot ,,,. Thanks again

[@marion8112]

THIEN NHAT QUYNH I haven’t fertilized them but I will now. Yes, they are in the shade, by accident. Do you sell plants? Would love some different colors. How did you start your huge collection? I have no idea when/where I got my first plant...but they keep multiplying by themselves.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Marion, 6 years ago, my friend sent me one plant, I don’t know much about this cactus, but after one year , with little care , it gave me a lot of flowers. Then after that I started to looking that cactus, some from friends, some I bought from nursery, now I have more than 50 plants, all different colors. For propagate, use cactus leaves,, you can check my videos “ THE FASTEST WAY, THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROPAGATE EPIPHYLLUM “ I do sell cutting leaves,,,,for shipping purposes, i offers 25 cutting leaves, 6 different colors, your choice, including shipping is $100 US,,,, let me know Thanks again

[@marion8112]

THIEN NHAT QUYNH thanks but no thanks......at 88 don’t think so.......I have pink...red...white and maybe yellow....not a favorite. Love your orange. I just sent about 15+ leaves to Florida and I will forward your method to her....it is the easiest and simplest way to get plants. Read comments about zigzag plant....what is that?

[@shnuggumz]

Please tell me more about the fern leaf cactus (6:50), Golden Heart. My fern leaf cactus keeps getting black tips, then rots or dies. I am desperately trying to save it, but what am I doing wrong? How much light does it need? How much water does it need? Maybe the soil is problematic - does it like to be moist/dry/water when dry? My propagations mostly just turn black and rot when I try to cut, and let it scab over a couple of days - going to try your water method. Thank you for this amazing video, and any tips about my fern leaf cactus!

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Fern leaf cactus is very easy to grow and propagate…..just cut black tip or leaves and throw away….some kind of virus. It doesn’t need a lot of water and light….not directly sunlight…. You should use potting soil mix with some perlite…..also they like fertilizer, like all purpose fertilizer, Alaska fish fertilizer……it’s fast growing plants…. Propagation, just cut mature leaves, dips in rooting hormone, let it drying few days in shade area….then put in drying Potting soil, spray water lightly…..that’ll. Good luck Thanks for watching my videos.

[@ChileanBea]

Hello! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 I’ve had an epiphyllum for 4 years now and it’s so big. I was wondering how to propagate because it’s really big and I wanted to share some babies with friends. I started this experiment a few days ago so it’s good to have a reliable source, I can’t wait to see how it turns out 🌱💚 I have a question about how you place them, I noticed for some of them their leaves are hanging and some others you have them with a support and their leaves going up. Why the difference? The leaves of my epiphyllum are growing so big that I’ve been wondering if guiding the leaves up or hang the plant so their leaves will grow down. Thank you very much and I really appreciate your tutorial. Take care

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Thanks for watching my videos. Good luck and have fun with your project.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Beatriz, the reason I use bamboos sticks to support my cactus, because I want it grow upwards, if I didn’t do that, it will grow big , coul be more than 7 feet wide ( or 2-3 m) , I have more than 50 plants, so no room or space for that... you can see in my videos,,,,only 4 feet on the self, I can have 4 big plants.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello there, 70% of Potting soil 20% of perlite 10% of small nuggets bark . A little of Slow release fertilizer, I use Osmocote 14-14-14. Thanks for watching my videos.

wonderful instructions! thank you . do you have a video of yours blooming? i just recd a few cuttings from an auction. not sure on color of flower. will do your method for sure. do you use distlled water?

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Susan Paulik, Videos of my orchid cactus blooming will come soon, a lot of buds now, I’m waiting for them open , then videos.. Yes, my method is very effective, very easy for roots If you put the leaves air dry few weeks, in shade place, then put them in water, they will root faster and no rotten problem ,,,,,,I use water from faucet, distilled water could be better....trust me...:) Good luck and have fun with your new project.....

[@Peleski]

I have some very long cuttings but don't want to split them because I hear that it will take longer for them to flower if they are small. I'm hoping I can root them as they are, though I don't know if cutting the base in a v shape will speed things up. The skin seems very tough so it might impede root growth?

[@charlenecruz9816]

Does this plant only grow in the shade? Can it grow in part sun? Thanks for your answer.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Charlene Cruz, Yes, this plants growing in shade, morning sun is perfect,,,,direct hot sun will burn the leaves..... Thanks for watching my videos. Thien

[@tamnguyen-pk7dq]

Im confused. So how much did it grow in 1 yr?

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Tam Nguyen, Thường thì cây sẽ lên chừng 1 feet, chừng 3-5 lá năm đầu tiên, qua năm thứ nhì, thì cây mọc nhanh hơn....chừng 1.5 - 2 feet,,,,và cây sẽ bắt đầu ra hoa sau đó....lớn hay nhỏ, nhiều hay ít là do ban tưới phân.....thật ra trồng Quỳnh rất dễ... chỉ cần nắng sáng 3-4 tiếng, tránh nắng trực tiếp....tưới ít nước,,,phân bón đều đặn là được.... Chúc bạn thành công.. Thiên

I just took cuttings. I'm so nervous. I've accidentally propagated plants before but I almost just killed my plant - Over watering? Over fertilizing? Not sure. I hope this can work to help me get some cuttings. I haven't been able to get my plant to flower either. I've just had new plants grow, taken cuttings and successfully grown new plants, but never flowering. Don't know what I'm doing wrong with my plant. Is there a way I could send you pictures of what happened to my dead plant. Maybe you could give me some advice on how not to kill the remaining plants or maybe how to get them to flower too. I'm not very good with plants. Any help would be appreciated.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Anja, So many different ways to propagate cuttings epiphyllum….any way, cuttings don’t like wet soil….almost drying before water again…. Mature plants after 1.5 -2 years will bloom….some maybe take longer….you can make them bloom early use fertilizer with high in P….( NPK)… Good luck with your new cuttings.

[@enufots4621]

Great video! Question: did any of them bloom? I don't seen any with flowering buds. I wished I had seen your video a couple of years ago when i was given some cuttings. I had no experience with them. I simply put them into regular soil. I pretty much left them alone. Occasionally, I would water them but not on a regular basis. I had never fertilize them. There had been many new growths and it's getting crowded in the pot, but they have never bloomed. I still don't seen any flowering buds. I am thinking of re-potting them using a cactus soil. Also, I'm not sure how to re-pot them. Will they come out as a whole root-ball or will each individually leaves fallout? How often to water and fertilize? Really anxious waiting for a 1st bloom. Do they bloom only once a year and in the Summer only?

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Hello Enuf, Yes, they grow up, and all blooming... After 6-8 months old, I separated them , they grow and blooming.....please checking another videos. Thanks for watching my videos.

[@THIENNHATQUYNH]

Epiphyllum plants will be matured in 2 years, and they will bloom even without fertilizer, but if you want more blooming, should use fertilizer higher in P, will boost them bloom. Thanks again
