Orchid cactus pieces on eBay
Has anyone ever bought a "rooted" plant off eBay? Is this a good practice
or not? I see dozens of ads for Orchid cactus' and I would love to get one that way. Giselle (what say you? Will it work or not?) |

Orchid cactus pieces on eBay

I think I may be growing it without knowing the name. My plant grows a lot like my orchid cactus and the bloom looks similar, but the cross-section of the leaf is flat rather than triangular. When new, the leaves look like the edges were cut with pinking shears, and the shape becomes more extreme as the leaf matures. Take a look at http://home.earthlink.net/~lyons7/images/plant.htm I would like to know the proper name for it and any other information you might have. Thanks. Cryptocereus anthonyanus, Zigzag, Fishbone, or Ric-rac cactus. Here's a page about it: http://www.paghat.com/ricrac.html -paggers I have fallen in love with the orchid cactus'. I was looking through the pages of them on eBay and everytime I thought I found the most beautiful one ever, the next one was even better. Oh, boy, I wish I still had my little greenhouse.
