    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to get epiphylum oxypetalum to flower.
    I read somewhere that it should flower by the 4th year.
    I had it for 5 years now, not flowering.
    Appreciate any information, thanks.

    jes

    They do not flower at a particular age. They must reach a certain size + be grown in suitable conditions in order to flower.
    I do not grow it anymore, but when I did I let mine have a cool winter rest with very little water + bright, filtered light and much more water (and nutrients) in summer, and it flowered.
