    I am so pleased to see you doing this as i "winged" it a bit when i repoted mine. Seems i did it nearly same as you did! I managed to rescue mine from certain death by drowning, but got two big hanging basket fulls and heaps of cuttings which are now rooting... Cant wait to see if it flowers.... I think my variety is like the one you repoted on this video, I am now looking out for the other varieties. Thanks again for another lovely video,
    a bientôt from France .

      Hi Lety :-D These cacti do vary quite a lot on their appearance with the leaves being thicker and thinner than others, I have another much smaller one that is much thinner too, and as long as it is not looking shrivelled and you are watering well, its nothing to worry about, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a terrific Thursday XXXX

      Hi there :-D you can re pot them now because Epiphyllum cacti are different to Desert cacti in that they can be re potted throughout the year and because we are near the end of Winter you will be fine to pot them up now :-D just keep them a little bit on the drier side until they start new growth in the Spring

I am doing a video on propagating my ric rac. I have tons of ariel roots, i saw once upon a time that you can lay a cutting flat burying the ariel roots. Is this true? I do mention you in my video as I am also potting back my peanut cactus, I will be putting it up shortly, I'd love if you could check it out 🥰. Thanks for any advice you can give me.
