The Orchid Garden

epiphyllums

Question:

Oh yes you are correct Ray, but I did use the word "mostly" ? The oxypetalum opens at night & dies off the next day but I get 2 or 3 bloomings during the course of the summer.  The other Epiphyllums that I have bloom on & off for a couple of months starting in May. The blooms on these last 4 to 6 days. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Wendy, They sure bloom more than once a year for me.  I grow Epiph. oxypetalum outdoors in full sun all summer and typically see blooming over a 2- month period. — Ray Barkalow < First Rays Orchids http://www.firstrays.com Secure Online Ordering & Lots of Free Info! Hello Judy, I was wondering about a newsgroup for Epiphyllums too but I guess because they mostly only bloom once a year there’s not much to discuss?? You can post pics at :- alt.binaries.pictures.gardens I have a few pics on my website if you are interested. http://gardenjungle.homestead.com/Epiphyllums5.html It is bloom time next month & plan to go to San Diego to take some photos. Cheers Wendy Am I the only one that grows epis? I cannot find any newsgroups for them. They are an orchid cactus.

Response:

While we are on the subject, what is the regime we should follow for great spring bloom?  Mine never seem to boom very well, and Im sure its because Im not doing something right.  Thanks for any info.

Response:

They seem to like morning sun but dappled shade for most of the day. They also like to get pot/root bound in cactus type potting soil. I really don’t do much to mine so here is a url for you:- http://junglecactus.com/index.html If you search for "epiphyllum" you will be amazed. Cheers Wendy

I have a very large white flower plant that I bought as cuttings from the San Diego Wild Animal Park over 8 years ago. For many years I had nothing except new growth. For the past three years I have had massive white flowers .I have many buds on my plant now. I expect to see them start opening very soon. It is very very root bound. It seems to do better with neglect- just like alot of my orchids. Diane

– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Wendy, how large is your GH?  Beautiful epi, BTW.  We don’t know all that much about the various types of cacti, though we grow a number of them. We were rewarded with flowers last year.  Exciting!
