Hi Eric,Eric Williams wrote: ↑Tue Oct 06, 2020 7:22 pm Again a great looking plant. I grew mine from seed hence my question. The plants are about the same size as yours so perhaps Autumn 2021.
I gave my plant fertilising with a liquid seaweed solution at 1/4 recommended strength probably on three occasions from late Spring til early Autumn.

Thanks babytoes.
Christian - nothing special although it is quite thirsty. It has been flowering for a couple of years now.

They are much faster than I thought, Raj! Interesting zig-zag stems and such delicate looking flowers, are they scented? I used to grow Epiphyllum pumilum which had a faint soapy scent, if I remember rightly.

Yes the sweet perfume is welcome at this time of year. October seems to be the main flowering time for mine; is this normal?

Re: Epiphyllum anguliger coming into bloom
Mal, do the fruits really taste of gooseberries, as I have read somewhere they do?
As for when they flower, I believe late summer/early autumn is their usual time, yes.

Re: Epiphyllum anguliger coming into bloom
Glad you posted - I thought I could see buds coming on mine today and thought they couldn't be as it was so long after the hybrids!
Enjoy the fruit!
