SPRING COME, WEATHER GETTING WARMER, IT IS GOOD TIME TO START GROWING EPIPHYLLUM.
I HAVE ALOT OF CUT LEAVES, ANYONE WHO NEED TO START GROWING EPIPHYLLUM FROM THE LEAVES, LET ME KNOW. ( in US only)
This is the fastest and the most effective way to propagate Epiphyllum or Orchid Cactus from the leaves. I have developed this method by incident. It happens in early morning of Spring this year, when I watered my orchid cactus, I broke one leaf with the bud ready to blossom. I felt so bad , so I brought it inside the sunroom, and put it in plastic food saver with little of water, hoping that this bud will blossom, but it wilt and fell off.
I still leave that leaf in water about 4 weeks, then one day by my curiosity, I take it the water and check that leaf , I was surprised, it formed few roots. So I left it in the water few more weeks, it formed a lot more roots, I took it out the water and plant it small plastic pot, it grows very healthy.
After that incident, I started to study by cut few orchid cactus leaves and observed the process .
You can see in my video, this new method have very high successful rate. Should do this new method in the Summer.
Now I am very happy to share with all of you, who enjoy growing Epiphyllum or Orchid Cactus.
I would love to get feedback from all of you.
PEACE

Hi 🙂 ! I have an Orchid Cacti/Cactus. I originally saw one in FULL bloom @ a Nursery. It was Breathtaking!!! The gentleman told me it wasn't for sale 😩. Anyway, I asked him for a small piece of a leaf. It was about 4 inches long. Well, I planted it in 1993 & it grew vigorously. It is a very, very, very Happy plant!! In 2011, I lost my mom 😔. In April/May of that year my Cactus had 3 Beautiful flowers. I believe my mom sent them to me 😇😇. It has flowered every year since. I haven't seen any buds on it yet this Spring, maybe it is resting. I propogated two Beautiful plants last year from cuttings, they are doing VERY well. TYFS!!! 👍👍☺️
What soil mix are you using? I have found a mix of equal parts azalea/camelia mix, orchid bark and perlite makes for very happy epis that want to bloom a lot. They will limp along in just about anything but acidic well drained airy soil makes for well blooming plants. Also they like a few hours of morning sun and occasional fertilizing with cactus or half strength tomato fertilizer (not houseplant fertilizer it has too much nitrogen)
@@atomicskull6405 GREAT information! 🥰. ThnQ for that. Sad to say ☹️, I NEED to repot it. I have hesitated because it is SO BIG!!!!! I'm planning to use Cacti/Cactus Soil. I use "Orchid" Fertilizer.
I tried this method, and it really worked! I cut many at once, put them all in a clear container, left them at my front porch. About 2 weeks, I see roots growing from the bottom!
Hello: I tried the water method and it really worked. A piece of my epiphyllum had to be cut off and I was heartbroken to throw it away. Using you method was wonderful. Please continue to make more videos, as I am new to the species. Thank you so much from Canada.
Thank you very much for this video. I just got about 30 leaves from a friend and I had no idea what to do to grow them. I really appreciate your time and effort in putting this together to help all of us!
Thanks for watching my videos,,,,Have fun with your project
Thank you, so helpful. Just got my first two ever! I'm going to refer back to this video just for the music now, because my baby loved it. He got very quiet 🙂
Your collection is AWESOME!!
I just have to add my thanks to you for sharing this method! I tried it with twenty cuttings, and all twenty rooted successfully in under six weeks! Thank you so much!
Hello M-S-C,
Thanks for watching my videos.
Just got my first cuttings from USA from a friend, my instinct was to put them straight to the water and now I definitely will after seen you're video. You're orchid cactuses is amazing, thank you so much for you're video.
This method is incredibly!! Almost every single leaf I placed in water grew roots. Thank you so much for sharing! I get frustrated with how unsuccessful I am at propagating, so it’s nice to have it work out for once!!
Thanks so much for watching my videos.
Good luck with new method….now you have more confidence to propagate the cuttings…
Best regards.
Beautiful you were blessed with a gift.
So glad that you posted this. I am going to go try this now. Thank you for the excellent video!
Hello Eddie B,
This is the best time to do this method, warm weather make leaves form e roots really fast .
Thanks for watching my videos.
Thien
Thank you for the very detailed explanation of how to propagate these. I just got my first one from a nursery and it had several pieces already broken off from being shipped. I hope they all thrive as well as yours! Awesome collection. :)
Good morning Rena Daen,
Thanks for watching my videos...
I have many viewers asking about to put cutting leaves in the water right away or let them dry few weeks before put them in water.
Either way is ok, but if you let the cutting leaves dry few weeks, 4-5 weeks then put them in the water,,,then roots will form faster and NO ROTTEN PROBLEMS......
My experience, I cut leaves in October 2018, let them dry in green house until March 2019,,,,,i was in Vietnam for 4 months,,,after I got back , I put them in the water,,,,,( Oregon, cold winter) ,,they have formed healthy roots and no rotten problems.......it warm in Oregon now, I just plant them in the soil......
Good luck and have fun with your project..
Thanks again.
Thank you for making this video. My mom gave me one if thse plants years ago but we didn't know what it was. 2 years later it bloomed and I fell in love with it, so gorgeous. This winter I almost killed it when my sons dog started to eat the leaves and I sprinkled cayenne pepper all over it. I am going to make some new plants from the parent this way. Thank you!
Good morning Antoinette, thanks for watching my videos......
Fave fun and good luck with this method....it really work,,,,,,
My family has grown this amazing unusual plant for about 30 years...The incredible fragrance of the blooms and the beauty of them is something hard to describe, except to say that it is a beautiful intense fragrance like no other.
Yes, I agree…..it’s very exotic flowers….
Thanks for watching my videos.
Thien
It works! Even tops of the leaves got roots! Thanx!
I have been using this method for a while with my pitaya cuttings. Usually takes about 8 weeks for roots to be ready for transplant. Just rooted my hookeri strictum epiphyllum in 4 weeks in moist coco coir! So easy!!
WHAT A GREAT TEACHING! I JUST CUT MY ORCHID CACTUS TONIGHT AND WAS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO PROPOGATE. THANKS.
Thanks
Thank you very much for your isntruction. I placed the cuttings from May 4 and May 14 they got lots of roots. They are now in the pot of soil. Hopefully they will thrive...

Thanks for watching my videos.....
Have fun and good luck with your project.
We've had a plant for about 20 years. All the plant place told us was it was a "night bloomer". We keep it in our bedroom in a sunny window. Blooms once a year. This year we got two blooms. One grew out of the middle of a leaf and one from a stem. Beautiful plant. Thanks for your info!
Hello sttgharding,
Your plant have very long life....if you want your plant produce more flowers, in early spring you should use SUPER BLOOMER fertilizer, it’s very good products.....
Thanks for watching my videos.
Thien
Epis don't have real leaves just stems, the flat leaf-like straps are still just stems. The actual leaves are the nodes along the margins where flowers and new stems emerge (these are greatly reduced leaf nodes)
Thanks so much for sharing this!! I received a few cuttings from a friend in the main and I'm so stressed wanting them to survive. I just tried your method for them all and get pretty confident doing it after watching this!
Hello Rachel Vong,
This is perfect time to propagate cutting leaves,,,,,warm summer.....
Good luck and have fun with your project....
Thanks for watching my videos.

I just acquired 2 epiphyllum lenghts. I was looking for way to care & grow them & landed on your video, I have more confidence now and will place them in the water to grow roots then will put them in the soil.
Thank you for the detailed teaching video. Hopefully mine will root as strong as yours. Thanks again 💙 💜 💚
Good luck with your cuttings…..
Thanks for watching my videos.
Thien
Perfect, I was trying to root my zigzag, but failed twice. Its a hope for me. Thanks.
just few minutes earlier i got a long leaf on road side.. i didn't have any knowledge about the leaf. just after searching the name from google i know the name. and potting it to follow your instruction. thank you so much.
Good luck with your new cuttings…. Thanks for watching my videos.

Thanks Chim’s Garden Naturelover........
This is a wonderful video. I don't think I will write on the leaves, but the rest of your instructions are spot on! I got several cuttings from a FB friend last year of two types of epiphylllum. Now I have friends asking for cuttings, after seeing my posts...

Thank you for the information =) I am new to these beautiful flowers/plants. I ordered some cuttings and will now do my best, using your video and expertise to try to root and grow them. THanks again!
Thanks for watching my videos…
Good luck with your cuttings…
Thank you for this information!!! Very helpful and excited to try some more growing!!! Beautiful plants you have!!
Thanks so much for watching my videos. Good luck with your new cuttings.
That was a great video and I learned a lot. Thank you very much. I have an epiphyllum that I've had for about 7 years and when it blooms, it has massive cream coloured flowers.
As it was getting somewhat unruly, having taken over my coffee table, I decided to separate it about a month ago. It was a no-brainer and I divided it into 4 smaller plants and
kept one for myself. Two friends and my brother all ended up with a sibling. In the fall, I'll try your method of propagation to create some more babies and pass them along. I admired
how you were able to provide your cacti with an opportunity to grow upright. I will have to try that. Thanks again.

Hello!! I did your method and it works well. I have some orchid cacti here in my collection among others. I have a cactus similar to herringbone cactus, but much narrower. I haven't discovered your name yet, because I got a seedling and it never bloomed. Your cactus collection is really cool. I am from of Brazil..😆
Hello Telmo,
Thanks for watching my videos....
Good luck and have fun with your Epiphyllum....

done watching.happiness in leaf vlog.
Great video and advice. I started four new Epiphyllum plants in October and have some recent videos of their progress. They should be very nice plants in a few years time :)
Thanks for watching my videos.
Good luck with your plants.
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to try I got a 'ric rac' cactus cutting, I tried sphagnum on a whim and no luck, I will be trying you method next! Your plants are gorgeous!
Hello there, thanks for watching my videos...
You can try propagate zigzag or fish bone cactus in two ways:
1- cut the leaves in to 8” pieces, let them wait dry about 4-5 weeks, then plant in small container. That is OLD METHOD.
2- cut the leaves 8” pieces, put them in food saver, in my video.........This is the best way to propagate cactus.
Good Luck and have fun with your project.
You can check my TH-cam channel: THIEN NHAT QUYNH. I Have several videos about cactus.
Thanks again.
Can you send it to the indian I'm from India
Been a few weeks since i cut my leaves up like you described, propped the 5 cuttings in water and its already forming strong roots! There doesn't seem to be any failed cuttings.
Thanks so much for watching my videos.
Enjoy your new plants.
Very good! I love this vídeo! Congratulations!
Thanks for watching my videos...
Thanks a lot. Now I will put potassium with out any fear. Thanks again.
I have also become enthusiastic about the multiplication of this Epiphyllum species.
I started experimenting on cutting soil, in peat pots, on hydro granules with a bottom of water, on Vermiculite, on perlite, on a bottom of moss, in a terrarium, under plastic or glass bell jar and finally on water in a warm, light place without direct sunlight. . The latter makes the cuttings to root quickly, less rotten than with cuttings on sand, but water does change periodically. After rooting, plant the plant cuttings in a soil mix and place in a light, warm place and spray and give minimal water until new growth develops, then lighten the cuttings. Preferably in a window on north or east (gives the most flowers) or on the west behind shade lace or patterned glass. Smallest cuttings made of approximately 2x3 cm successfully developing into large plants.
Thanks for sharing, in the method of put cutting in the water, you should change the water twice a week, and some time shaking the water to give the cutting some oxygen.....
Again thanks for watching videos.
Excellent! TFS!
Incredibly helpful video!!Thank you very much. I will definitely be trying this method. Thank you from Australia!
I have a 100 + year old Orchid Cactus. It blooms and is huge. I trim it in the Fall. I sure will be trying your method.
Hello carmen spring,
Wow, I have ever seen any Epiphyllum, orchid cactus over 100 years old...I would love to see the pictures,,,
Do you what kind of cactus you have? What is the color?
Thanks for watching my videos and comments.

J’adore. Et je ne lasse jamais d’apprendre. C tout à fait par hasard que j’ai découvert la multiplication de ces trop belles plantes, découverte consolidée par la vidéo immense gratitude oui aussi immense que belle....Manuia de Futuna pacifique sud.....
Merci boucoup.
Merci d’avoir regardé mes videos.
:/ I just stick my leaves in soil and keep it moist....they root in a week or so. I’ve never had an epi take that long to root?
Espero tener suerte con mi dama de noche siguiendo sus consejos. Gracias y saludos desde Uruguay

@ Thiet Nahn - When the leaves are cut into V shape do you allow some time to dry prior to soaking in water ? I already transplanted my first one but want to propagate many so I will lile to know because I would think freshly cut into water mean rot...the clear sap should dry- yes! Love your videos just subscribed 👍. Thank you!
Hello WJ Miranda, thanks for watching my videos and subscribe...
Either way will work, if you put cutting leaves in water right away after cut V shape, result will be the same if you let them dry few weeks or few months....
Most people let them air dry few weeks, because they will plant them in the soil.....( cutting will be heal, and callus)
So they will not be rotten....percent of successful is 70% max ,,,,,
In the water right away, results could be 99% ,,,,
Your choice, or maybe you can try both way, then you can find out,,,,,,just fun project...
Thanks again for watching my videos.

I have some very long cuttings but don't want to split them because I hear that it will take longer for them to flower if they are small. I'm hoping I can root them as they are, though I don't know if cutting the base in a v shape will speed things up. The skin seems very tough so it might impede root growth?
