For those of us who grow epies, there is nothing quite like a bloom. For the past 3 years, for various reasons, my plants haven't bloomed. I have been watching 1 bud for what seems like forever and yesterday it opened for me.! I am so excited.I hope it is the start of many blooms this year. It is marked ackermannii .
This 1 plant has been hanging where 1 florescent light bulb hangs almost in the center of the plant. So far I have 2 that look like they may be setting buds. It is all I can do not to start feeding them now. I know it would be best to wait a couple more weeks, but I get so eager to see flowers. They will stay in the greenhouse for about another 3-4 weeks. What do you think? Feed now, or wait?
