      Trichicereus hybrid. Ok, technically it lives in the conservatory, but I bring it in to enjoy it's flowers. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1433850148.077631.jpg

        Dear Sir, I was googling for Epiphyllum Oxypetalum and came across with the forum on this site. I have been searching for this particular plant (established) for over two years and I went as far as Winkleigh in Devon (Cactus shop). I wonder if you have spare established E Oxypetalum which you might kindly enough will let me buy. With best regards from Worcester

        I don't have any left this year I'm afraid. I usually give it a trim in early spring and root the odd cutting for spares. There are usually available on eBay quite cheaply if you can't wait, and they grow large very quickly.

        Thank you for the information on your reply Sir. Two years ago I bought couple of small potted Epiphyllum Oxypetalum on eBay but alas they have only grown no more than two inches since, even using the exact feed as instructed. My other Epiphyllum species seem to be thriving though. If by any chance you know anyone who have E Oxypettalum (established) to sale, I will be so grateful if you'd let me know. Many thanks from Worcester Sir.

        At the risk of teaching you how to suck eggs you are growing them in a humid environment aren't you? They thrive on humidity.

        I bought a variegated Guzmania (in Wilkos of all places!!!) just over two years ago, this is one of two offshoots from that plant.

        Clerodendron Ugandese is flowering well.

        The one Bougainvillea cutting from Majorca last year that rooted is also flowering well.
