So many wonderful plants you guys have. My Aporocactus malisonii is beginning to develop buds now, quite early i have to say, since it usually buds up in may when the weather is warmer- but i am not complaining =) However, i need some advice regarding wathering the plant during it's bud production... I've read about ppl who has given their aporocactus or epiphyllum to much water during the bud formation, and the plant responded by throwing all the buds?? Both of my aporo's are getting quite dry now, so i wonder- should i only mist the stems, or should i water them carefully? I'm just so afraid that they will throw their buds if they get too much wather... I'll be forever thankful for your thougts.
