Hm. No stickys on this forum to help.
Best I can do at the moment is ...Partial sun, fast draining mix, No frost, but dormant in winter, so no feeding and little water in winter.There is a thread for rooting cuttings. Patience is necessary when growing blooming size Epies. Small or immature cuttings usually take longer than mature cuttings. I prefer stem cuttings myself but you only get them from friends/neighbors. Keep in mind that they need to be crowded to bloom well, so don't over pot. You can keep them as houseplants when small, if you have a bright window or grow lights, but they really do best outside under a tree when weather allows. You don't say where in N. Ca., so I don't know what critters you may have. I'm in the city so Snails, Mealy bugs, and Scale are the only pest problems here. Keep reading the threads, and you will pick up lots of tips.And Welcome! to ATP
