I wanted to share the blooms on one of my pink O. C. I also have a most beautiful red that should bloom soon
Blooming Orchid cactus
Very pretty pink, pcabo!
:) Donna
Wow! Love the pink... and SO many blooms!
You can tell I let it sun burn. When I saw the picture I realized how bad it looked. I have now cut the bad leaves off. I am bad to look past the ugly to see the pretty.
Doesn't look bad to me! Those flowers are such a pretty color. Thank you for showing us the picture! Susanne
Beautiful blooms!! I love the color.
Boo, next time you cut off "ugly" leaves, may I have a cutting?
darius...Sure I will be trimming some soon.
Thanks. I'm in the adress exchange.
Picabo,
If you have any cuttings left, I would love to have one too!The coloring on your epi is something else!!
Karen
Picabo -- that is beautiful. What do you have it potted in? Is it hanging in a tree? If you have any cuttings left, I can send a self-addressed envelope.
Kathleen
Picabo,
I would like to have a cutting or 2, if you have any extra, please.
thanks,
Eric
p.s. I'm in the address exchange

Kathleen, This plant is in a clay pot, I usually pot them by their water use. This one is hanging in a tree where it gets watered often so the clay lets it dry out a little quicker. If you tend to underwater you might consider plastic pots. I make a lot of my pots out of clay and put a lot of openings for air to get to the roots. They do not do well for me in wire baskets unless they are plastic lined. Hopes this helps.

See you email

Connie..
Thanks Hon :)

Picabo, you make your own pots? Yikes, I'm outa my league here!
Clay pots dry out fast here, but would probably be good during winter rains (hard to imagine that right now!). Mine are still small (except for the strictum, which looks like an octopus) and in plastic pots. Guess when they grow up I will try a variety of methods and see what works. I have a problem getting watering right -- I either overwater or forget to water! :-)
kaperc... I don't make all of my pots. I make a lot for hanging plants. I'll post pics some time.
My O.C. seem to do better if they are a little on the dry side until they start to set buds, then I pour it on. I am sure that other people have different ideas. It is so easy to over or under water.

never seen any thing in a cactus that pretty. just about all I've seen is those christmas cactus. I'll look for something like that when I'm looking for cactus. as many of people wanting a cutting maybe you won't have much left. so I won't ask you for a cutting.you are richly blessed
