Can anyone offer any tips on growing a night blooming cereus. I just transplanted a cutting that I purchased through the mail. I’m worried that it might have gotten too dry.
Tips on starting a night blooming cereus?
I doubt you have killed it. Cereuses are hardy. I have started a lot of them from cuttings (I happened to be at a friend's house the day she was hacking back her house plants and got something like 25 cuttings from her cereuses). Most of my cereuses live on benign neglect most of the year. They can take being dried out for several months and still bounce back, shoot out strange slender limbs that can grow a foot a day and in mid summer produce several blooms per plant.
If the cutting looks shriveled give it some water with weak fertilizer (1/4 or LESS of what the directions say) and see if it does not improve in a few days.
