Re: Epiphyllums

hi, ted,

i'm not an expert but i understand some epiphyllums need high light and
cool temperatures at night in order to bloom.  what kind do you have?  i
grow Epiphyllum oxypetalum, the night blooming cereus, and it blooms
every summer with no problem.  it helps taht it goes outside for the
summer.

i also have a Epi. King Midas, a yellow hybrid, which doesn't bloom for
me.  another unnamed pink hybrid also refuses to bloom.

as for the drying out, i'm not sure what causes it.  check your watering.
 could it be underwatering?
