I'm in Houston so no problem with humidity or heat I plan to keep them
inside even though I've heard they won't bloom indoors. I've also heard
they will bloom too so I figure I have a good chance of having some nice
flowers next spring.

I used to let my cuttings heal over and then place them in a sandy

rooting
soil. If I remember right, they were easy to propagate. I cut them at a
natural joint. I had them in a lath/gardening area, outside in summer,

took
them inside in the winter. Lived in Texas then.
Eventually I hope to have some again. (moved away from my collection)

I need some info on epiphyllums. I've found general culture info but I
would like to hear opinions on the best way to root cuttings and the

best
indoor climate for them. I'm thinking of putting them either with my
orchids or in my computer room. Anyone's experiences will be welcome.

I've gotten two larger plants which are about two years old plus several
cuttings and two very small plants which are outside right now.

Also any input on potting media would help. I had thought of using

cactus
soil mixed with regular potting soil and maybe some perlite and a bit of
charcoal.

Thanks
