The Epi House



Until I set up an official shade structure with a stamped concrete foundation, I'm temporarily housing my epiphyllums underneath a modified square gazebo. I relocated six cuttings and the four recently obtained plants into my little epi house. Little by little, I plan to move the remaining cuttings that I've been rooting, outside as well.

Four More

I purchased Blushing Angel from the September 2011 SDES Meeting and repotted it today with new soil mix. It has a few ants from the care of its previous owner, unfortunately, but hopefully I can get rid of them over time. Aside from a few subtle knicks, it's a healthy plant and I look forward to seeing it grow even better under my care.

I also repotted three rooted epiphyllum cuttings that I purchased from my favorite eBay seller. From left to right, they are Melt Down, Real Delight, and Three Oranges. I was very fortunate to receive them in extremely healthy condition with impressively well-developed stems.
