Rhipsalis paradoxa subspecies septentrionalis
Hello 👋 i love ❤ your plants thanks for sharing your videos 😊
Hello good morning 🙏 I feel happy I found it your Chanel thank you for sharing your information 😊 GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Thank you!
It is called medium not media, but you’re learning. Nice plants.
Don’t think those are called branches. Maybe called stems.
They are called phylloclades which are modified branches or stems that photosynthesize like leaves. That is ok though, you’re learning 😉.
😅😂🤣
Hi, can I ask what potting mix components and ratioes are you using? My schlumbergeras always find a way to get root rot. I tried to add more inorganic stuff (perlite, small lava rocks) to my mix but it doesn't work well. Also how much and how often are you watering them?
Loved this video. Where does one even find one of there? Seems so hard to find in the US.
31:54 Do you have a video on how to mount the Lutea . I plan on getting a cutting and trying to learn as much as possible. I was planning on getting a small aquarium to grow it in. I may try 2 ways after seeing how well your semi hydro is doing. What happens when it out grows the container or will it?
Hi, do you have any recommendations for reliable sellers that we can import from?
Hi! I just love rhipsalis. I have a paradoxa, paradoxa minor, ewaldiana, flocosa... And a lot of epiphitic catcti. They are so beautiful, so unusual and I know so little about them. I am learning from you. Thank you so much! Nico (from Bucharest, Romania 😊)
OK, I'm new to Epiphyllum growing. Thank you so much for posting this video. I was operating on bad information. A guy out of California with a nice collection said white scale happens if your plants got to much water and that the scale was the plants natural response. According to him, yes the scale was unsightly, but not real harmful to the plant. Based on that, I did nothing. I ended up with two plants that were 90 - 95% scale. However, after seeing this video; immediate plant surgery, in the kitchen sink, at 12 AM. I removed all the soil, sprayed with 70% alcohol, and went to town with a soapy toothbrush. The leathery skin of the plant held up very nicely to my super scrub down. I'm so pleased with the results. The visible scale is all gone. Because the problem persisted so long the skin looks like a gravel driveway. I'm interested to watch them recover and do well. I can see now that I need to watch several more videos and better educate myself. Thanks again you saved the day... and my plants. :)
Where can I get pseudorhipsalis in Europe? It's one of my very favorite genus but I have only one P. amazonica. I'm in love with this genus and would like to have all its species.
In Europe I’m not sure, I would try the Facebook groups and do an ISO for them. They are really uncommon to rare and are mainly in private collections. Usually they will be obtainable via a trade more so than to purchase.
Thank you. What does "ISO" mean? @@EpiphyticCacti
What pretty colors. I love it. I want one ☺️
Glad to find your channel. Great resource. About 10-15 years ago, I purchased an Easter cactus (Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri) plant. Unfortunately, Plant did not survive. I should have known better and replaced the soil medium to a more suitable one. The plant was very unusual form and never could find it again. Maybe you could tell what it was. They plant was available in Red and pink colors. their leave were very small, almost 1/5 to1/8 of a regular Easter cactus. Most probably was hybrid or cultivar of sort. Thanks
You always produce the most in depth videos. You amaze me how you can remember so many names and details. It is wonderful. When I see photos of your plants, especially basement, I want to just ditch most of my philodendrons and collect the Rhipsalis and my second love hoyas. Thanks for sharing all of this.
Thank you. Lol 😂, Philodendron have gotten too much love, Rhipsalis deserve some too! 💚🌱
@@EpiphyticCacti I totally agree. And I know Some rhipsalis get large it is nothing like the monsters philodendron can turn into. At 75 and still pretty strong I still need to consider pot size and ease of handling . Do you think Rhipsalis and other jungle cactus are less prone to pests. Well except for mealies. UGH
@@shadesofidahoin my experience yes they are less prone to pests.
@@MsBabyShac Thanks. A few years ago I had a thrips outbreak and I am so terrified to have that happen again. Mealies and spider mites are easier for me to get control of.
Epiphytic Cacti, thank you for the interesting video. I have two cuttings of pseudorhipsalis amazonica (got them in August). I tried to root them in leca and one of them produced a few roots, the longest about 2 cm long. Is it the proper time to plant it into the epiphytic cacti mix? I also have the other one, have kept it in the same conditions and it still lives but it didn't produce roots. Until now I kept them in a humid greenhouse and they usually root better there in summer but the temperature is now about 13 Celsius grades, so I'm wondering if it is better to keep them in my house. It's warm (about 20 Celsius) but very dry. What environment do you think is better and how long should they stay in leca after producing the first roots?
Hmmm, it’s a species that doesn’t like the cold but 15°C isn’t too cold, rule of thumb keep it above 10°C. I would keep it in the slightly cooler but more humid environment. You can let it develop a pretty good size root system in leca if you want to before repotting in an epiphytic substrate. I would leave it at least until it has enough roots some of the leca remains affixed to the roots when you pull it out. It might not grow too well until the weather warms up because it is quite a warm loving species but that is ok.
@@EpiphyticCacti thank you. Your advice is always so useful!
I always apprecaite learning with you, and all the care you put into your videos 😊
Thank you 💚🌱
I had a healthy thanksgiving cactus that turned all red on me. I tried propagating cuttings and they grow roots but don’t get much further. Any thoughts?
Once they turn very red it takes a really long time to get them back to green but it is possible. They need to be in much more shade for that to occur.
hey, have you gotten the epicactus halloween moon to bloom yet?
Yes but I had two and one was mislabeled. It’s truly a big orange flower!
I grew and hybridized epiphytes for many years… this lady has a great mix… she knows what she’s doing. Use a good soil mix… small pumice #2 … orchid bark … in the suggested 1/3rd ratio of each… If you have to … just use #2 Pearlite … but it does tend to float after years … The clay balls would be a great addition … at my local hydroponic store they carry crushed materials that are of the same material… I used to add bone meal to my mix … and a bag of chicken fertilizer to ten 2cu ft bags of a good potting soil … you can always google The Epiphyllum Society of America… and/or the San Diego Epiphyllum Society… they have some information you can read … 🌺
Thank you Don, I recognize your name and coming from you it’s a really nice complement 💚🌱
Nice video❤ and gorgeous plant 🎉How often/ when do you water it? When totally dry? What substrate are you using for this plant?
Hi, I water it when it’s just dry, I have a video on the substrate I use, just search for basic epiphytic cacti mix. 💚🌱
you have the most amazing collection and I love weeing the lady bugs walking around. They are adorable pest control! I have learned so much from your videos and have enjoyed growing my own jungle cactus collection. Please make more videos like this when you can!
weeing lol! SEEING 🤣🤣
@@victoriastewart7116😂, I mean they probably were weeing too. Thank you, I really appreciate the comment 💚🌱
When I lived further north here in Australia I had a big epi collection. I had mercifully forgotten how much of a pain in the neck White Scale was. As you say they get below the soil line, just to make things even more difficult, YAY! I particularly loved the Selenicereus (Hylocereus) etc. You are the first person I've ever heard of with a Weberocereus specimen. They are beautiful flowers.
I truly have no idea why they aren’t more collected. They are quite easy to grow in comparison to most other epicacti genera and just as interesting if not more 😂!
@@EpiphyticCacti I understand what you're saying. They are a spectacular group & most aren't difficult. There's plenty for collectors to collect but those flowers. WOW. Even the little Rhipsalis flowers & the like are beauties. Have you heard of any hybrids using S. anthonyanus at all? It's by far my favourite of the epiphytic cacti but they all have their own charm. I'm preaching to the converted I know.😊🌵
Once again, in English, please😂❤ I have one that I bought in a 2-inch pot and bits and pieces of it are growing in several places in my house, and yes, they all do look different.
I have to say your knowledge & observations of your plants is impressive as is your collection. The internet has been a boon for plant collectors sourcing specimens.
Thank you 💚🌱
Fascinating for me, too. The juvenile growth stage that Schlumbergera sometimes exhibit, where the clades have distinct bristles, reminds me of S. 'Little Spider', an unregistered hybrid so called because of its spider-like appearance, but in this case the bristly clades are maintained into maturity, not restricted to the juvenile growth stage.💚
Interesting! I’ll have to look it up 💚🌱
Fascinating!! Thanks for sharing all of this.
Glad you enjoyed it 💚🌱
@@EpiphyticCacti Did I miss how long it could take for the Clonal variation takes to stick? To make it become its own classification? Probably wrong word.
@@shadesofidaho no, in order for a species to have its own species level classification it is typically thousands of generations. Clonal variation which is not a distinct classification just stable changes within the same species classification, I’m not sure perhaps just a few generations. The topic is quite complex, here is an article that tries to cover speciation: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2442920/#:~:text=The%20main%20exceptions%20to%20this,as%2060%20generations%20(13).
What are the water requirements? Do you wait til dry to water? Just got one from etsy ❤
Hi, yes I wait until they are just dry and then water thoroughly. I used a very well draining mix, if yours is more or less draining you may need to water a bit differently.
I have a question about Pseudorhipsalis ramulosa. I saw this plant in a botanical garden but its flowers look much more like flowers of a genus belonging to Rhipsalis than Pseudorhipsalis. What is the reason for that?
Yes, it’s been through considerable reclassification over the years and has always been a bit confusing for botanist. This species was reclassified quite some time ago due to molecular phylogenetic testing. It is neither in the genus Pseudorhipsalis nor Rhipsalis but found to have evolved independently so it was deemed to belong alone its own genus Kimnachia. Here is the title of the paper it is not hard to find searching google: A phylogenetic framework for the Hylocereeae (Cactaceae) and implications for the circumscription of the genera It’s one of those interesting things where it shares quite a bit of morphological characteristics with plants in the genera Disocactus, Pseudorhipsalis, and Rhipsalis. That isn’t so strange though, it lives in the same evolutionary tree and it’s quite common for plants to evolve the same characteristic totally independently of each other.
@EpiphyticCacti thank you so much for your reply! I really appreciate that you always give such detailed and fascinating answers to your viewers. ❤
Looks like the ewaldiana i have.berries are white.
😂😂😂
great video!
Thank you 💚🌱
Spooky and beautiful!!!!!! Thank you so much for this 💚
Thank you 💚🌱
"They were so cute a few years ago...." so hilarious 😂
😂 thank you 💚🌱
Wonderful plants. Wonderful video.
Thank you 💚🌱
Love your monsters! Great choice of words and tone of the voice😃 small rhipsalis etc look cute but even better as huge plants👻
Thank you 💚🌱
🎃👻💚
I have the Rickrack and Fishbone and both sold to e this way. Sorry for the common name use. Now I need to go look for spines. You are so knowledgeable on all of these. At 75 I can not remember all the names for 5 seconds. Both are Gorgeous plants. I also can understand your weather. I live in Idaho at 2650 elevation at the base of a mountain and spring and fall weather can be totally psycho. Long winters and lots of foggy over cast and cold cold days. Making us think a day that gets up to 30 is a heat wave.
😂! It is a heat wave!
@@EpiphyticCacti LOLOLAlmost T-shirt weather. I checked both my plants and see no spines on the RR but there are a few ariel roots. I need to get my ladder to see the larger plant high up on the shelf. HA YES I also often have more than one of each. Not getting up o that ladder before more coffee. I do not imagine the Bowiea fits anywhere in the epithetic plants? I have had one since 1982. Well actually two of them. LOL Yep did it again.
@@shadesofidaho🤣🤣🤣 sometimes we just like what we like and need several of what we like! Looks like Bowiea are caudiciforms that grow in more dry desert conditions in Africa. The general care for them as house plants doesn’t seem much different from epicacti though.
I have many up and coming monsters in the making! lol. I enjoy your content and the sharing of your knowledge. Thank you! 🌱👹
Thank you, I really appreciate it! 💚🌱
My paradoxa is in a 6” pot am it’s over 6 feet long…. The new growth tips turn black and throw a fit if I don’t water that beast at least twice a week. I know it needs to be repotted but the way it’s in the pot, draping over all the edges I’m scared it’s going to snap when I mess with it. It’s a real conundrum monster. 😂 My point was, had no idea how insanely thirsty that plant was!
I relate to all of this 🤣, it’s so shocking how much they need to be watered if they aren’t repotted. At least they don’t have spines 🤣!
🎃👻🎉
Nice work ⛓️🌱
Very scary and very entertaining video. Scary because I have a few small ones.
Thank you!
LOVE the Monster at 6:20. And yup I have the both the Hatorias too. One is still very small The other is medium size. I fear this could easily happen to me. Could?? Heck it has happened with my hoyas and philodendrons. I TOTALLY LOVED this video!!! Thanks!!
🤣 oh man I keep a few Hoya and they can also get crazy climbing into everything. Philodendron are really the scariest though.
Beautiful monsters!💚😈
Thank you!
spooky 🎃 looks like they could escape there pots.i would sleep with one eye open😮.happy Halloween 😊 from uk..❤
This is facinating. I just recieved a plant labeled "rhipsalis ewaldiana", longest branch is about 6"-8". Some of the sections are 3-sided and others are 4-sided and it veverts back and forth along the same branch. I wish I could show you photos or a video, but not possible here and I do not have Instagram. The sections are mostly green except for the new growth at the end that are more of a limeish colour. I don't think there are any flower buds or remnants of buds/berries. I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Are you saying that of I propagate this plant, at some point in the future, but then grow them in different lighting conditions. The plants will change and grow different carricterustics? If I have this correct and that could happen it would be interesting to try it.
Hi, you can email me pictures if you want at epiphyticcacti@gmail.com. Yes, it’s possible, it’s called phenotypic plasticity! “Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its characteristics in response to environmental stimuli. This can include changes in behavior, morphology, or physiological state.”
Thank you for the information video. I’m always trying to find information on mine. I actually have this species and it’s constantly giving me new growth. I live in Cali. My auntie has a ginormous one that’s taken up the whole wall from ground to ceiling. Such a cool plant.
Fascinating info and a beautiful plant! Thanks for making this!
Thank you 💚🌱
For Oxalis…. Remove the rhizomes?!
