For two years it was growing slowly. Secong year flowered. But look at the photo what happened in third year in only two months!
In February it started grow a twig (?). What can I say. It keeps growing since 2 months at the speed of approximately 20 cm / 0,6 ft a week. I had to move it from the windowsill to give it more space from the ceiling. The yellow measure I placed in the pot to give you the feeling of proportions is exactly 1 m / 3,28 ft long.
When I am writing this post the twig is more than 1,6 m / 6,24 ft tall.
On the top the twig is supposed to transform into flat form resemling leaf. Every week I am looking for the leaf to start to appear. But no. Twig keeps growing. I hope it willl stop one day.
How to make Epiphyllum oxypetalum growing tall?
3 months prior noticeable new growth I transplanted it to a new pot. The dirty trick I made was the ingredients of the potting mix. This time I have added to the composting soil a lot of natural composted manure. Thats the only difference. Evidently epiphyllum oxypetalum loves natural fertilisers.
