I just purchased this plant, labeled only Epiphyllum. I know they are recognized mostly by their outstanding blooms, but wondered if maybe this one could be identified by the leaves. There are some brown tips on some of the leaves, does it need more humidity? I found it in a greenhouse so could it maybe be from sun exposure? Thanks in advance for any advice.
I bought one of these last week on ebay. The ebay description called it Epiphyllum Chrysocardium. This is the info that the description provided.
Foliage: Leaves 5 feet long and 6 to 8 inches across zig zag looking
Flower: Large white
Height: climber
Situation: full to part sun epiphyte
Zone: 9 and up
Species/Hybridizer Species
Thank you for the quick reply and helpful information. Five feet - I think it's going to need a bigger pot. As you can see, I'm in Zone 9, so that at least is a good beginning. Thanks again lismil
Im jealous....wish I could keep mine outdoors year round. Oh well. I just built a greenhouse. Well see how that goes. LOL
Definitely Selenicereus chrysocardium. Be careful not to overwater it. Brown tips can be from overwatering or from underwatering. Here's mine on the right.
Looks like the Dancing Bones Rhipsalis is trying to peek thru....Deb
