It turns out that Epiphyllum has lived in the tropical desert areas of central and South America for generations. In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night varies greatly. In the daytime, the temperature is high and very hot, while at night the temperature is lower and much cooler.

Epiphyllum choose to bloom within four or five hours in the evening, and wither in the morning of the next day, so that the delicate flowers will not be scorched by the strong sunlight. This special way of flowering enables it to live and reproduce in the harsh environment of drought and heat. Over time, this habit is passed down from generation to generation.
