Night Blooming Cereus - 2007/03/05 17:30
Well, as I told you, I don't know too much about it.
I've checked a bit on the web and this is what I've got:
Hylocereus undatus need full sun to partial shade with intermediate to warm temperatures. We use a well-drained soil mix consisting of 2 parts sand to 1 part loam to 1 part peat moss. During the growing season (March-August), the plants are watered on a regular basis, making sure that they never dry out completely. They are fertilized on a monthly basis with a balanced fertilizer during this period. In late August, water is restricted to about once a week until January. Night temperatures at this time should be about 50° F (10° C). In January or February, watering is stopped for a period of 4 weeks to aid in flower formation. In March, regular watering is resumed and the plant will flower in 6 to 8 weeks.
