I have a "Night Blooming Cereus" that I have had for severala years now. Got it from someone in CA. along with 2 Red Epis. One of the red Epis has now bloomed for the last 2 Summers. The other one has not yet. This is the one with the thicker leaves.

The Night Blooming Cereus is growing and growing.....and I don't know WHAT TO DO WITH IT!!!! It seems healthy! I cut it back this Spring a bit---but the "leaves" now have other leaves forming off of them. It is in a pot that it should be "comfortable" in. Not to small-not too big. I don't know what to do for it! It is getting too big for my LR shelf where I overwinter all my Houseplanyts.

Here is a picture taken a couple of days ago.....I have it on a plant stand under my high Patio roof. It very late-afternoon sumn only. It is now about 5-6 years old from the leaf-cutting. It is now planted in an 8" glazed, ceramic pot. Growing well--as you can see.

WHY has it never bloomed yet WHAT do I need to do for it to bloom????

Thanks, Gita
