Thanks, Don and Kell! Don, they are actually heavy feeders and like some winter chill to bloom well. The reduced light in the winter and increased light might be a signal for them to bloom if you can duplicate it through the winter. My plants stay outside all year long and are subjected to nighttime temps in the low 40's/high 30's, and they feel the effects of the natural light decrease and increase. The hybrids bloom from April to June. The Epi oxy bloomed in July and September. You could definitely try planting some cuttings and root them, but I wouldn't throw the mama's away. It would take a couple of years for your cuttings to bloom well. I would just try hitting them with a bloombooster early and often until you see buds forming. I have you to thank for these flowers, Don! They are so bright and cheery in the spring.

Kell, you are too kind and generous as always. You such a great pal. A late night run...I'm very impressed! Don't get yourself shot! LOL! It sounds like an Epiphyllum oxypetalum. My buds were red too.

Linda, if you can post a picture, I should be able to tell.
