Um, love the pictures and the chat but y'all have me confused when you use the word 'epi'. Both the Oxy and the Hooker are epis.
@Bubbles, could you maybe ID by the color of the pot. I might be able to follow along better.
Also, I'm curious about whatcha got there on the top shelf. And curious about the pot - wait - what's in the pot with the yellow rim on the 2nd shelf.
I haven't tried it yet but if need be, here's something handy to know: you can lay an epi cutting just flat (horizontal) on top of potting medium and it will root and grow. You can have a cutting upside down (these things can happen) in the 'pot' and it will still root and grow. Caveat is that I've learned this from people who mostly grow the day blooming epis but would imagine it works for the night bloomers too.
It's not unusual for the edges to be red. Will double check but think it means a little too much sun or something like that. Here's a picture of E. Bolero that has some red on it. This is growing from a single cutting sent to me from someone in Sweden. The cutting is in the middle and if you squint you can see Bolero written on it. And yes, there are some puny 'branches' but in time they will fatten up. I really need to pot it up again. They like being root bound but there is a limit.
A couple of other day blooming epis from Sweden:
This is E. Oriental Dancer
and this is E. Shangi La in a purple pot in a pot in a pot (to hold it up on windy days or just cuz. don't remember.) Whatever. It's definitely time to pot this one up.
If I didn't ignore and abuse these guys or gals so much I probably would have some blooms by now. And I can't wait to see them. I've forgotten what their colors are. Guess I could find a link or 2 or 3. Just don't tell anyone that I'm not using the correct naming conventions.
Anyway, all of these are epis. (Spellcheck likes to call them 'epic' when my back is turned. Like ATM.) Thus my confusion.
Dang but I can ramble on and on. Sorry to be such a chatty cathy. Think I need some ice cream.
