Wow, I am very impressed. I have a small night -blooming cereusin a 4"
pot.
It has never done well. Last summer I was told it shouldn't be in soil but
bark chips like an orchid. Still it has hardly grown. Can you give me some
tips on how I can help this plant do better? I would very much appreciate
it.


I have a similar sized one grown from a cutting from a plant my Mom has had
for decades. It lives outside year round in Zone 10 in a well draining soil.
I keep it in bright light with maybe 5% sun and water it whenever I walk by
with a hose. I do feed pretty regularly but other than that it seems to
thrive on benign neglect.
