Epiphyllum "Dutchman's Pipe"

<< < (3/3)

duh:
Ok I now know that the leaf cuttings root very slowly but very easily.  So I think it would be easiest just to send you some cuttings and let you root them.  it will have to wait until a future pay check though because I keep on running out of money.  Go figure huh?

I've learned what the blooming problem is...they will not bloom if put under artificial light at night.  So they need the seasonal light/dark cycle before they will bloom.  I have moved mine to the craft room that I am never in at night and hopefully that will have them blooming this fall which is suppose to be when this kind blooms.  We'll see what happens.  They also require feeding once a month from March through November. 

I'll have to read up and see if I owe anyone else a cutting.  I had forgotten that I had promised it.

duh:
Oh, the reason I came over here was to talk about transplanting my little (not so much) plant.  Today it got transplanted.  I had just gotten back from my day in town and since the floor was clean you just know I had to transplant a root bound plant.  So now the floor looks like it did before I mopped it.  "A Woman's Work is never done."  Truer words were never spoken.  Ho hum.

And I took the small round table out of the livingroom and put it on top of the hope chest so the epi has a nice high place to sit on so it can drape to it's hearts content. 

Dianna:
Glad you got it transplanted, Tammy, and there is no hurry on a cutting. I had forgotten about it, myself... :giggle:
