Sorry, Mike. I went up and read your name. Must have been a brain fart.
Thanks for the info. Basically, you do nothing special.
I tend to mix my own from compost (made from the collected green waste at the dump), red lava rock and some garden soil. I try to keep the drainage good. My epis are doing very well other than scale. A lot of that is due to crowding.
My problem is that I never throw out a piece that breaks off. I just stick in a pot and root it. I'm going to have to give some away soon.
I haven't tried seedlings yet. Almost. The ripe fruit with all the tiny seeds was tempting. All of mine are NoIDs. And all of my fruit have been from bee or wind crosses.
How long from seed to bloom on average? With irises it's 2 years and I was told daffodils take 7 years.
This pink one goes crazy at bloom time every year.
