All are rooted epi cuttings from last spring, and one Rhipsalis salicornioides that I have decimated with improper care. The Rhipsalis appears to be growing (finally!) but with etiloated looking branches toward the inside of the bathroom. The other epis are in various states of growth, mostly tender and small. The few cuttings that really took off this summer are elsewhere, and looking great! But how should I care for these plants to get them to be their best come spring. The window is a west facing double pained window, outside temps rarely get down to the upper 20Fs. My plan is to decrease the weekly watering to biweekly by the end of November then Monthly for December and January, reversing the fall pattern, until the outside is habitable, where they get watered almost daily. No fertilizer will be given until late spring, and the last they got was in September. Your thoughts are appreciated. |
