JB--Your Epi is gorgeous!!!!

How old is it?
How long have you had it?
It is so thick and lush! is it because you have a greenhouse?

Mine hang around dry and ignored all winter--in my LR.
I put them outside--and they will bloom--but the big one (#2) looks pathetic--
but this seems normal..
The tops of the "leaves" are gray and cracked and blotchy. NO! There is no disease or bugs.
The bottoms are perfectly green ????????
Starting to think I will cut the whole thing back and let it re-grow.
I already have a "replacement" growing in a HB.

--LOOK! here is the top of the pot. Disgusting!

--One of the small stems looks like it will break in half any minute--BUT--it has a bloom bud at the tip.

--The other one blooms first--her it is....I think it may be the same as yours...
Look at the leaf-bottoms on the one to the left--ALL green and healthy looking...the tops suck!

Go figure!

Hey! Blooming is weather related--right? Se we are NOT digressing! Still pon topic.....Gita
