Sue.,
You Guys in CA have it made when it comes to Epis! Must be the year-round good weather. Do you have to bring yours in for the "winter"???

I have a red Epi that I got several years ago from CA (Karen). It is blooming right now--but I am happy to see that am having 4-5 blooms. One at a time!
The plant itself has very long "fronds" and I have been meaning to post and ask someone if they should be cut back? But, now that it is blooming at a couple of the tips, I don't think I want to do it.

I DO need to re-pot it in a bigger pot! It is in a 6" pot that is slipped inside the more decorative pot and is hanging. I will--when all the annual planting craze is over--plant it in a larger pot--maybe an 8"??? Should I shoot for a 10"???? I always thought they liked to be root-bound!

Anyway--here is a picture of the whole plant----hope you can make it out, as there is just too much stuff al around it and in the background.
