A question about night-blooming cereus?

Question

I have a large night-blooming cereus in my sunroom, is there any rules as to when it blooms? Every year, every two years? I just need an approximation, thank you...

Answer 1

My sister inherited my mothers cereus, hers blooms all summer, but when she had it in the house in the summer it did'nt bloom. Only after she put it on her deck, it started blooming and is still blooming in October. Our zone is 7 if that helps. Try putting it outside next summer. Hers is HUGH, and she struggles to take it in and out but, it was my mothers plant so it is extra special. Also you can take and root cutting really easy, just snap at the break between the branch and leaf. This plant is awsome, the fastest growing plant I have ever grown, not alot of people know about this plant either, you have a gem and I hope your blooms soon, the fragrance is beautiful. I hope your feeding it. Let it get slightly root bound, feed and move outside this summer, I hope you are rewarded, be patient and I know you'll have big white good smelling blooms soon. Happy Growing!

Answer 2

There are a lot of plants called night-blooming cereus. I have one of the tropical types; it blooms in late summer to early fall. I move it outside every year (with a few hundred other plants:-)).

Each bloom only lasts one night, but it is capable of producing a lot of blooms each year. Very fragrant!
