I moved all of my Epiphyllum from the wall, were they were growing, but not really flurishing or covering up the blocks and fence. In there place I decided to relocate a bunch of the smaller species. I have one open wall planter that will probably be the home of something in the greenhouse in a gallon or 4" pot soon.
P. holosericea and P. serrato-digitata and P. trisecta were all cut back really hard, and now they're starting to recover. I made cuttings of course. Speaking of cuttings, I'm trying my hand at P. cirrhiflora yet again. Several species have rooted well in the little aeroponic propagator, and it's warm enough now to try it. P. cirrhiflora is blooming and I've tried to bud pollinate it with P. loefgrenii and P. caerulea. Tried.
This year I have a good number of mature plants so I hope to get some serious blooms this Spring and Summer. We will see what those seasons hold. Meanwhile, I watch P. 'Erl' my first hybrid jump back to life in the sunshine. I am anxious to take cutting to give it away as a gift, but I can't be harming the plant like that just yet.
My Astrophea are growing well too, so maybe I'll actually get to see those bloom this year too. I always have more species in that group on my wish list. They're so hard to find though.
