To encourage your *Selenicereus anthonyanus* to bloom, mimic its natural tropical habitat. Provide bright, indirect light, especially in winter, and a well-draining, rich soil mix. Ensure consistent warmth and high humidity. A crucial step is a cool, dry rest period in late fall/early winter by reducing watering and lowering temperatures slightly, which simulates its natural dormancy and triggers bud formation. Once buds appear, resume regular watering and fertilization to support flower development.
