I have buds the size of a grain of rice and they were all along most of the upper part of the biggest leaves. Then they all fell off. Must be temp. not yet favorable,too hot or too cold. As we are speaking there's a rice size bud on one of the bigger Epi on the outside stairway. I've only seen some fancy Epi from the society. In the winter they need a lot of protection from the cold and moisture. I bought a bunch of cuttings forgot about them; half died. lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-76578604343621199142014-09-21T19:21:06.794-07:002014-09-21T19:21:06.794-07:00It's almost completely dry all winter, in a co...It's almost completely dry all winter, in a cool room. <br />i put it outside in a sheltered area, when all risk of frost is passed. Since it's in a container, I'm not totally organic with it. It gets a little dilute MG bloom food. It's on the east side of the house, and out of Southern sun completely. It did well on the North side of my old house. It's in an organic potting soil mix. I keep it sonewhat on the dry side. <br /><br />I tried cross pollinating it with a zygocactus, no idea if that would work. It did not take. Nothing lost.<br /><br />Now Im thinking about trying an epi hybrid. Ive grown them before, they did ok with the same treatment.Daniel Wachenheimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009166706587141830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29834831.post-52712223640382792062014-09-21T16:34:33.416-07:002014-09-21T16:34:33.416-07:00Boy oh boy, how do you get yours to bloom.

Starting from a cutting from a trade with a shop keeper who has a monster of a "tree" in front of her window. I gave her orchids in return for a slip. Her's bloom yr round with lots of blooms hanging main trunk reaching for the ceiling. I've asked the Epi Society for help but they don't know what they are doing, can't even keep one alive. Congrats on the beauty, because it supposes to bring good luck to have seen blooms of the night-blooming-cereus.lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657961543274999017noreply@blogger.com
