Cultivation tips: when the flower buds are about to open it is advisable to soak the pot in a solution of water and two parts per mil of a fertilizer rich in phosphorus and potassium. They dislike excessive heat which may induce dormancy. 
It’s easy to propagate from cuttings. In the autumn, take portions of the stem, approximately five inches long, and simply lay them on moist sand. Common pests are mealy bugs and other parasites. They can be treated like Epiphyllum.
