Selenicereus chrysocardium
I have had this plant for about ten years, It has grown really big but it never bloomed. Any tip?

Hi Ceci,
I also have a Chrysocardium of similar size but am not expecting it to bloom any time soon.
I was advised to grow it in a 44 gallon drum and have seen one a friend had that was enormous, had 2 buds that grew to almost full size and then didn't open.
It is a night bloomer too. I am just happy to grow it as it is a pretty plant.
Good luck with it anyway!

Ceci you can just see it is in quite a big pot.
