    Hi Guys :-D In this video I show you How to pollinate the flowers on Epiphyllum Cactus plants to produce seeds, and I cross pollinate two different varieties of Epiphyllum cacti that are flowering in :-D

    I used this method to cross pollinate my African Violets. I can't wait for the seeds to mature so I can plant them.
    Thanks Lynn and Hans for another lovely video.

      Hi David :-D Yes I like to use a tomato feed fertilizer called maxicrop and I use it at every 3-4th watering I give them from Spring onwards, but any good quality tomato fertilizer will do, I use it at half the strength that they recommend for tomatoes, and the potassium really helps to kick start the flowers :-D here is a link to a video i have made on why I use tomato fertilizer for my cacti : ua-cam.com/video/Re7pQkHm-aM/v-deo.html thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald isle for a TERRIFIC Thursday today XXXXXX

    I’m in Los Angeles and discovered you when I came looking to see if I can find info on properly caring (and pollinating) my Queen Of The Night Epiphytic cactus. Only thing is I only have one of her. Are yours also known as Dragon Fruit? Mine are not. Is there an email I could send you a photo for advice. This plant is my child so I’m anxious for your suggestions.
    Warmly,

Turn the Lord and find truth and peace and true love that surpasses all humanly love. He loves you so much. So repent today and put your trust in Him because He loves you soooooo much.
