Buttoneer--

I am now on my second HUGE Ric Rac. The first one got so big--I donated it to the Rawlings Conservatory.
They re-potted it in a heavy clay pot and it resides, happily, in the Mediterranian House and blooms every year,
I saw it last Spring...to me it looked a bit pale--Too much bright light on it--I think.
It bloomed for me only twice--in several years.

The one I have now is in a 10"HB and I know it is getting pot bound.
Do not re-pot yours--I believe Epis like to be pot-bound to bloom.
Fertilizing?? I don't do much of it....Also--I think they appreciate a slightly dormant period for the Winter...
like--ignore it!

Mine hangs in a darkish corner of my LR--as I have nowhere else to hang it.
It does not get too much water--as if I pour even a cup on it--it all runs off. The soil is so hard and full of the plant.

I have hopes that all 3 of my Epis will bloom this summer--they are big and tight enough.

Here is my Ric Rac on my 4' diam. picnic table--before I brought it in.
