Fruits of the Night Blooming Epiphylum

The flowers last only one night. I posted them here.


There are three fruits developing on the very same plant at the moment.


They look luscious. I wonder if there are any seeds inside. We will wait and see.

I bought another Epiphylum plant just before Christmas and this one has red leaves. I am waiting for it to flower.

    I have one of these lovely plants but have not been able to get it to flower..... Any idea of what triggers it's blooming...?

    Hi Marla, I find that a good foliar fertiliser specific for flowering is essential, I find flower buds forming whenever spray is done. Of course lots of sunshine.
