Jungle cactus Red
Thanks Bob, Attached is another shot of my Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri AKA
Jungle Cactus, not to be confused with Schombergera's? I still can't tell the differance? Anyway this one is in full bloom now & just realized that the flowers close up at night. I have had this plant for more than 30 years! *G* Cheers Wendy "Bob Williams" wrote in message ... Wendy7 wrote: This is the parent plant. Actually it's the Dad as I have another one that hangs.

Hi there Jim, I use Oil of Olay!!!! (((LOL)))
No seriously I like to keep things simple so all my plants get 1/4 strength fert (15-15-15) at each watering.

There's a large cactus that blooms only at night (outside the house here, big white beautiful flowers over 6 inches long). Not sure what type of cactus it is but perhaps it's the same thing but a bigger variety? Coffee grounds and banana peels seems to help it out (seems to make some extra blooms within a month). -- Jim Carlock |

Jungle cactus Red & Night Bloomer
Hmmm? Could be the species Epiphyllum oxypetalum aka Night Blooming Cereus

: Could be the species Epiphyllum oxypetalum aka Night Blooming Cereus Looks like it could be. Just this one is not a couple inches across. The branches end up 4 to 6 inches across. The flowers that bloom, with the stem of the flower end up maybe 9 or so inches long, blooming maybe six or so inches across. I think the Epiphyllum oxypetalum looks close. Some of the pictures make me think that perhaps the branches are only 1.5 inches wide and not 4 to 6 inches wide. A neighbor has a few of the skinny cactus and they grow all over the place out of pots, along a fence. -- Jim Carlock : "Jim Carlock" wrote... : : There's a large cactus that blooms only at night (outside the house : here, big white beautiful flowers over 6 inches long).
