    Beautiful specimen and quite unique to me. I was watching a video from Edwin's Plantie Adventures channel and he switched from peat to coir. He says coir is readily available and peat is not renewable and so, should be preserved. I have peat and a large bag too, but I will consider coir as it is also less acidic but not much.

    Hi, I've been watching your videos for years now and I have learned so much. Lately I've had a problem with all of my fern leaf cactuses (my favorite plants). I've had them for about 5 years and with no issues. But all of a sudden, the leaves on them have been turning a crispy brown. It starts at the tip and works its way down towards the stem. I've made no changes in sun exposure, watering, or placement of the pots. All of my other jungle cacti are fine. I've done research online but couldn't find a solution for this. Would you know what could be causing the leaves to brown? I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  Рік тому +1

      Hi there, the strange thing is i have been experiencing exactly the same problem the past few months with my Fern cacti too, the edges of the leaves are going brown and crispy and spreads down, I have been pruning off the brown ends but it still keeps reappearing, I have had my two for about 4-5 years too, there are no signs of insect pests and the only thing I could think was I was over fertilising, too much nitrogen can cause brown crispy edges on Fern cacti, but I have stopped fertilising them a few weeks ago and it still is happening and I am so puzzled to why its been happening, my friend is also experiencing the same with hers too, its a bit of a mystery and so sorry I can't say whats causing it, my fern cactus in this video was growing so beautifully but looks so brown and scabby now and I am trying to propagate some of the healthier leaves, keep me updated on how your fern cactus gets on, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX

Any tips for propping these?

      Hi Anabel :-D yes you can propagate these plants by taking cuttings and allowing the cut part to dry 'callus' over for a few days and then planting the cutting in a well draining soil ix, you can also root them in water too as these plants are epiphytic cacti and can be rooted in water the same way as Christmas and Easter cacti can :-D XXXX

    • @desertplantsofavalon
      @desertplantsofavalon  6 років тому

      Hi there, its possible the the thin stems might be 'canes' that Epiphyllums sometimes send out as a support for them and this is normal for them to grow these, but it could also be down to low light levels, its very difficult to say without photos but if your Epiphyllum is in a well lit spot then its most likely because the thin stems are 'canes' the plant produces for support and nothing to worry about
