Oh my stars! That's marvelous!
How cool groing is that one? Where'd you get it? What's it need, culturally speaking? K Barrett "Nina Baltes" wrote in message ...

My grandmother used to grow lots of them outdoors in a lathehouse in Arroyo Grande (near San Luis Obispo). I've grown them here in the Sacramento area from cuttings and from seed (obtained from Thompson and Morgan). They don't tolerate frost so they need some protection. You ought to be able to grow them in the Bay Area pretty easily. Culture is very similar to Christmas Cactus if you're familiar with those. There is (or used to be) a company in San Diego that specializes in them and other similar species. I forget the name but I think it was Rainbow something_or_other.

Oh my stars! That's marvelous! How cool groing is that one? Not at all . It grows at intermediate temperatures. Where'd you get it? http://www.orchideen-lohoff.de, during a visit there. It's in Germany, so this is probably a bit mean . What's it need, culturally speaking? Well, I haven't had it long, but according to what I've heard and read, moderate to bright light without direct sun, and some humidity. Nina -- C'est les microbes qui auront le dernier mot.

I thought I was replying to another post of someone's Epiphyllum (actually I thought Kay's reply was to that post and I replied to that). OK, I feel stupid now. That's what I get for replying prior to my first cup of coffee in the morning (yeah, that's the ticket, blame it on the coffee!). Dave |

Where'd you get it?
http://www.orchideen-lohoff.de, during a visit there. It's in Germany, so this is probably a bit mean . Don't be silly. Some of us were planning a road trip to Germany next week. Not to where the nursery is, mind you, but it sure is on the list now! --Katrina --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
