doc--

You say you trim your Epi (short for Epiphylum).
How and where on the fronds, do you trim it?

"orchidman" (you can find him on the Orchid Cactus Forum)
tols me that if I trim my Epi--it is best to cut the frond all the way
down to the base. He said if i just cut it half way--or cut the tips off--
that is where the new growth will come from and make the plant look
unbalanced. That is about what mine looks like....

Also--what product contains "trace minerals"? I know about your "teas'...

Here is what all three of my Epis looked like in Aug. 2005 when I first
got them from CA. can't believe the size they have grown in less than
ten years....
Any of you growing these from such cuttings----brace yourselves!!!
