Cereus question
"Cereoid+10" wrote in message . com...
You need to do the traditional fertility dance on your front lawn buck naked under a full moon. Be sure to make a lot of noise whooping and hollering so that you wake up all your neighbors!! ;-) Since the common name "Night blooming Cereus" is commonly applied to several different night blooming Cactaceae, including arborescent species, vines and epiphytes, it is difficult to say what the problem is. Find out your plant's proper scientific name. Repotting the plant with new soil, regular watering, fertilizer and giving it sufficient light is a good idea. After 20 years, it certainly needs it. gwayner wrote in message ... I have a night blooming Cereus that bloomed about 20 years ago and never since. What do I have to do to get it to bloom again. I'm assuming he means cereus peruvianus. Make sure the roots aren't rootbound, if they are gently transfer into a large enough pot, and gently tap the rootbound dirt loose. Try allowing it to go without water for a couple weeks, if still nothing, buy some cactus fertilizer and give to the cactus at 50% streangh, never want to overfertilize a cactus. They might have some bloom nutrients for cactus, I'm not sure. Light may be an issue as well. |
