To encourage your Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) to bloom, mimic its native tropical forest conditions. Provide bright, indirect light and a period of cooler temperatures (around 50-60°F or 10-15°C) and reduced watering in late fall/early winter, which simulates its dormant period. Resume regular watering and introduce a high-potassium fertilizer in spring to fuel flower production. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
