My Epiphyllum German Empress Cactus isn't looking good will it be a gonner ?
Aw that’s such a shame, Lyn 😢 Really hope it does recover for you. Edith loves the blooms on this one. Keep us updated on how it’s doing. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a lovely evening from Edith & myself to you and Hans ❤️🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Thanks so much Daz :-D I am really hoping this Epiphyllum recovers, its such a stunning bloomer and its impossible to find another one for sale anywhere, I will be giving it a fresh repot this weekend and keeping my fingers crossed and make another update on how it gets on, thanks so much Daz for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Edith lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to England and Singapore for a fantastic afternoon and evening XXXX
As last resort,knock out of the pot,wash off that old soils and refill with fresh epi or cactus and succulent mix. I have one and they seem a bit fussy compared to other Epis that get huge leaves on a modicum of care.
Thanks so much Stan :-D I will be giving this Epi a fresh repot at the weekend and wash off as much of the old soil as I can and replace with fresh Epi soil, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it recovers, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Oh Lyn, what a sad video. I hope you can get it to make a full recovery. If anyone can, you can. When you said plants have a life span too I was thinking this could be a good explanation. You had this plant for around 15 years and there's no telling how long the lady had it before you. I'm hoping a repotting will do the trick. I'm keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. It does have the most gorgeous flowers when in bloom. Sending you and Hans peace, love and Epiphyllum Power for a Tremendous Tuesday from your friend in Georgia!
Awwwww thanks so very much Jeff :-D I really hope this cactus can recover and its one that I always look forward to see blooming every year, and its a very hard one to find for sale now, I will be repotting this cactus at the weekend and fingers crossed it picks itself back up again when Spring arrives, Happy February Jeff and not long to go now before Spring arrives, thanks so much Jeff for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Georgia for a fantastic Thursday today XXXX
So sorry your lovely plant is sick. It’s frustrating when you don’t know the cause. I agree with your assessment that it could probably be age or a virus…since the health-looking cuttings suddenly die after rooting. Hope it recovers.
Awwwww thanks so very much Carol :-D I really hope this cactus recovers, as its such a stunning bloomer, I will be giving it a fresh repot at the weekend and hope it makes a good recovery, thanks so much Carol for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
I am so sorry this Epiphyllum look so bad! I hope it will recover! You should keep trying rooting some good looking leaves! It was such a beauty! Thanks for sharing Lyn, so sad for you! Hope you have a wonderful evening my friends Lyn and Hans! Lots of love and happiness!
Awwwww thanks so much Sylvia :-D I would be gutted to lose this cactus as its such a beautiful bloomer, I will be giving it a fresh repot at the weekend and take some more cuttings from the greener leaves, I really hope it can pick itself back up again, thanks so much Sylvia for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a fantastic afternon XXXX
Could it be Fusarium? It is a shame, such a beautiful bloomer. I've always admired its stunning blooms. I hope it recovers with less colder days hopefully coming soon. I am keeping all my fingers crossed for you and your Epihyllum🤞🤞🍀🍀❤️❤️
Awwwww thanks so much Fernanda
Feel really bad for this plant, one of the reasons i like looking at your collection are the mature plants that have a history, wish you the best of luck with it🔹
Awwwww thanks so much Tom :-D I am really hoping this plant makes a recovery, its such a special bloomer and I love the ones with a history too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection
thanks so much Jillian for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Saludos desde la Cd de México, me encantan estas plantas sus flores son espectaculares y ojalá logre recuperarla, sus flores son bellísimas...
Muchas gracias, las flores de estas plantas son tan hermosas, muchas gracias por tu maravilloso comentario y por mirar y que tengas un maravilloso día XXXX
So sorry Lyn! Beautiful lady! Hope she recovers! Drinking from your lovely mug this morning💚
Thats FANTASTIC you are drinking from my cactus mug haha, and so happy you love it, and thanks so very much for buying the mug and supporting me, it means so much, thanks so much Patti for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful day today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon I love your logo! Makes me happy to see & hear the music! Everyone knows who’s videos I’m watching. You don’t age Lyn. You look as vital, healthy and beautiful! Even your voice! Filled with the excitement of blooms & beauty. Even when the end of life, still hopeful & sound the same as when I first started watching you! 💚
@@ThePatii7 Awwwww thats so wonderful of you to say that Patti :-D thank you so very much for your really kind and amazing words, you make me feel amazing, and thanks a million for all of your incredible support, you are a STAR XXXXX
Hi Lyn, I have a RicRac cactus that did the same thing. My plant had Cactus Virus X. There’s not much info on the virus but I was told that it was because I probably didn’t sterilize my tools when I was working with it. They also told me to throw the whole plant away. I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I cut off any stems that didn’t seem affected and threw the rest away. The cuttings I took are doing fine six months later.
Thats fantastic news you was able to take cuttings from your RicRak Cactus and they are growing fine now, I think these Epiphyllum cacti are very prone to getting these virus's, thankfully this Epiphyllum German Empress is making a slow but good recovery, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX
I don’t know for sure what is happening to your plant, but have you dumped it out and looked at the roots? There may be clues down there.
Thanks so much Annette :-D I will be giving this cactus afresh repot at the weekend and remove as much of the old soil as i can and check over the root system to check that the roots are good, hopefully a fresh repot may help to encourage more growth now spring is getting closer, thanks so much Annette for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Aw, I love this plant, I always loved the blooms! I wonder if it's a combination of issues that made it vulnerable... age, heat, virus. I know I've had a lot of issues with the holiday cacti I've had the last few years... the last few summers have been so hot, and as soon as it hits, mine just start dropping leaves and branches like mad, and then nothing I do brings them back. I've never had this issue before the hotter summers. Keep us posted :) xo
Awwwwww thanks so much, I think the weather really has been so challenging for our plants, the extra hot summers and this Winter has been very cold on and off, so sorry to hear that your Holiday cacti have been struggling too, I noticed my old Thanksgiving cactus dropped quite a few of its branches last summer as the temperature reached 125F in the polytunnel quite a few days during the heatwaves last Summer, I really hope that this cactus recovers and will make an update in the coming weeks on how this plant gets on, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Hi there Lyn! I hope it improves, it's been such a beautiful plant. I'm sending huggy vibes let's hope it will bounce back! I think if it were going to spread to other plants you'd know it by now. I've lost so many this year too although it wasn't really cold for long. I think just wait for the Spring and let's hope it perks up like the rest of us.... good luck xx
Awwwww thanks so much Marion :-D I really hope this cactus recovers, I always look forward to seeing the stunning pink blooms every year, I am so sorry to hear that you have lost a lot of plants this year, so many growers have lost plants due to the Winter being so much colder than normal, its so gutting to lose plants we love, roll on Spring we say haha, thanks so much Marion for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Mine are all looking a bit ragged at the moment too . They just need a bit of pampering Lyn 🌸🌿
A good bit of pampering works a treat, I could do with that myself haha, thanks so much Debs for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
Unfortunately I believe you are on spot with your diagnosis. A virus! Which means as you probably know , that all parts are infected. I think if it were age, you could still propagate cuttings. Much like with the Euphorbia stellaspina that you have of mine now. The plant did come to the end of its life, but the cuttings live on. I'm so sorry you are losing this beautiful plant. You probably feel like I did when I lost my very old ariocarpus retusus. 😔 Sad. Like a friend and coworker of mine once said years ago. "Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb" I would do just what you are doing. Try until you can't. Everything deserves a chance . 🤞Best of luck Lyn, hopefully a miracle will happen! . I saw a little mirical the other day in my greenhouse. My cereus spirals has not grown in a couple of years. This was due to an attack by cactus scale. I fought this over and over. The plant became weak . Even though I finally won the fight with the beasties. It just stopped and got a little sad looking. There it sat. I just saw a glimmer of green hope in the very tip. New growth!!! And I haven't even watered it since October!! So, there's always a bit of hope. Thanks for sharing Lyn. I believe these things by seeing them , help others in the long run. From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to across the emerald isle, have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🥀🌳🏵🌿🌸🌷🌱🌲🌹🌴🌾🌻🪴💐🍀😃👍🤞
Thats awesome news your Cereus spiralis has started to grow again Clyde, and I think that it took a couple of years off to recuperate from the scale beasts, some of our Opuntias got scale and although the scale has gone now, it really seems to set the plants back from putting out new growth, I really fear that its a virus too, especially as it got Aphid greenfly last Spring, the beasts can cause virus infection into the plants tissues and wipe out the plant, and so very true with your stellaspinas the ones you gave us are growing amazing and doing so well even though your Mother plant had come to its end of life, I will be keeping my fingers crossed for this plant and checking over the root system and give it a fresh repot at the weekend, I fear because the cuttings I have taken of this cactus still go yellow and die that its a dreaded virus, but I will make an update on how this poor plant gets on, thanks so much Clyde for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful deb and all the pets and plants all lots of love and happiness and PEACE, LOVE, PLANTS and PLANT POWER to Morris Park for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
I also thought about a virus, but i'm no expert! Fingers crossed!! 😘
You could get in touch with somebody in the Dublin Botanic Gardens.... bring them a sample to analyze maybe? Just an idea! It's ok to lose a plant but it's better to know of what it died and how to avoid it if possible.
@@cassandraCC Thanks so much, thats a brilliant idea, I was at the Dublin Botanical gardens yesterday and filmed a video of their collection, all their plants are looking amazing and so healthy and the best I have ever seen them, the Aloes and Crassulas were blooming gorgeous, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday today XXXX
I'd suspect a virus or root aphids, especially after the dry summer last year 😨🌵🌵🦛🦛
The dry hot Summer really was so challenging, I will be giving this cactus a fresh repot at the weekend and checking over the roots system for any hidden 'beasties' :-D thanks so much Ziggy for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Irish sea for a fantastic afternoon XXXX
Good luck with this beauty
thanks so much Mary Elizabeth for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Oh no what a shame, 5he flowers were stunning, I hope it will recover🤞
Thanks so much Magda, I really hope this Epi recovers as its such a stunning bloomer, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it can recover, thanks so much for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Irish Sea for a fantastic new week XXXX
Oh good I just heard you say you are going to repot the plant. I think that sounds like what it might need...Also good to get cuttings as you are doing. Repotting in great humous soil is what I think would do it a lot of good. Good luck.
I am looking for this plant or cuttings myself seeing your plant's gorgeous blooms. I bought a small plant of this German Empress some years ago but it never did well and is long gone...sigh. Not sure where to look these days.
Edit- I forgot to say too that these are jungle plants...not growing in the hot, full sun desert...It seems they still grow but would probably appreciate the more shady as in growing in the crotches of trees in the accumulated humus that gathers there.
Jeannie
Thanks so very much Jeenee
@@desertplantsofavalon You are so welcome. I am glad to hear that it had good roots to begin with. That is encouraging as well. Thank you for these good wishes and the best wishes to you for a wonderful upcoming growing year with your revived soil for its growing medium and this beautiful plant. Happy weekend and happy growing.
@@jaaess2 XXXX❤❤❤❤❤😀
Hi! I had the same thing happen to an older Christmas cactus I had. Very dependable bloomer but noticed it looked desiccated even when watered. Put out 2 droopy blooms but no more. Nothing visible but did a repot into new soil. Looked a bit better but after a couple weeks and it still dropping s3ctions I composted it. Not rare but the color was something you don't see every day. Wish I'd tried to take cuttings but at the end the whole plant just looked done. Mine wasn't rare but yours is and I'm so sorry for you. So hard when you don't know why!
So sorry to hear that you lost an older Christmas Cactus Molly, its so gutting when we lose plants, and sometimes the whole plant may be a gonner and even cuttings can't retrieve it, its so hard when we really don't know why our plants are doing this, thanks so much Molly for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you! It was my late sister who passed away in September who told me the color was unusual and ask3d for cuttings. I grew her a small plant and when I took many of her plants home I left that one there for one of her friends to take. I had the Mother plant after all. Had I known...but I didn't. It's gutting because I lost it and didn't know why and my beloved Sister loved it. I know you understand! They are plants...but memories too. XO ♥
@@mollys1584 Awwwww Molly, yes I totally understand and its the memories attached to the plants that make them extra special XXXX
Hi Lyn, I hope you will recover your Epiphyllum, hope is not a virus. I got seeds from this one? Becouse I have from your seeds one Epiphyllum.
Thanks so much George :-D I really hope this cactus makes a recovery its such a beautiful bloomer, I think the seeds I gave you are a hybrid of this one and the Epiphyllum Ackermanni and the Epiphyllum pegasus, its going to be amazing to see what the flower colours will be like in the future, thanks so much George for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Moldova for a fantastic afternoon XXXX
Hi Lyne,
I have this plant, and to its been a real struggle to know how the help this 30yr old beauty with the same symptoms as yours. I do think it's the heat , I am down to four pieces now .I have noticed new growth which looks really healthy. Fingers crossed. for yours too. Try putting a quartz crystal in the plant with the intention of healing and of course Love.
💗💗💗
Thats fantastic you have got new healthy growth on yours Christina :-D and I will definitely be putting a quartz onto the plant for healing and love, the heat last summer was so challenging for our plants, and I think with older plants they can be more susceptible to stress like heat and cold etc, fingers crossed our plants both go on to make a wonderful recovery, thanks so much Christina for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
You should check the roots too
Thanks so much, I gave this Epiphyllum a good repot and it has recovered so well and with lots of new growth, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic weekend XXXX
Gutted for you
Awwwwww thanks so much Joe, I would hate to lose this cactus, its such a wonderful bloomer, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Hi Lynn, do you have an update on this plant? Did you post one and I missed that video?
Yes, the good news is this Epi has recovered really well and here is a video of when I repotted it a few weeks ago, ua-cam.com/video/06nYyeDVaMM/v-deo.html I have made another update but I can't seem to find it on my you tube feed, but I will film another update very soon, its growing amazing now, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
Is it still with you and still on the struggle bus? Or has it passed?
The fantastic news is its made a really good recovery and has grown fresh leaves, it didn't flower this year though but its such a relief to see its recovering, thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a brilliant Thursday XXXX
