Check this guy out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yqDddqYuATI.html maybe he send you a rooted cutting of red orchid cactus

I think this is Hungarian? Can you translate to English for me? Thank You!

Actually my computer translated your comment for me and Thank you so much,, I'm loving all the gracious comments.

안전하고, 편안하고 행복하세요.

Las flores me pidieron que te contara su gradiente. :)

El Cactus Orquídea siempre dice muchas gracias.

I used to think I had a Christmas Cactus. After a long time with some research, there is a distinct difference between what is called C. C. and what is called Orchid Cactus. The stems of the C. C. are short sections with smaller blossoms generally and the O. C. has flat and sometimes triple edge flat. So mine is an official Orchid Cactus. The Plant List includes 82 scientific plant names of species rank for the genus Epiphyllum. Of these 15 are accepted species names. I don't know if the Christmas Cactus is a Species of the epiphyllum? Sounds like another good question for Google. Could be. Anyway, to answer your question about care. Obviously, I hit on something that works spectacularly well. You are correct, they don't like to be over watered, wait till they are totally dry and then,, FEED them, don't just water. I use VF11 as directed. Any good plant food will do I suppose,, which is way better than nothing. Finally, keep it out of direct sunlight most of the day. They will do fine in very little direct sunlight but lots of indirect. Many people have complimented in the negative about my plant because I tend to let it grow over itself and it literally strangles itself if I don't prune and propagate the cuttings. And do NOT let it freeze. The epiphyllum comes from central and South America,,, I live in central Ca. 4 miles from the ocean and we rarely ever freeze, since my plant is in a covered deck,, no problem. It does seem to do well in the heat of the day which can get up in the 90's in summer. Hope that helps you. Bloom time is Spring with occasional off season singles here and there. They peak for about two weeks and then it's all over till next year, with a run that can last two months total. A cutting can take up to 3 years to bloom. Best Wishes, Lee Here is this years edition with music ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfcgusmXbNo.html

Thank You.

What country are you in?

Sin lugar a duda. Éste está en Scotts Valley, CA.

As I understand it there are between 80 and 100 different versions of Epiphyllum. They do better with indirect sunlight. Blooming night and day. Thank You!

Here is this years edition with music and a tiny bit of humor at the end; the short cactus has a note attached. Originally it was a joke for a neighbor who was taking care of things while I was gone; it says "How about a hug"; the shorter cactus is asking the taller one as the Orchid Cactus "moves" in from above. The shorter one had what looked like two arms reaching up. So, consider yourself Hugged, and thank you, enjoy: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HfcgusmXbNo.html

¿Cuál es el problema con el correo? ¿No recibes ningún correo? ¿O es el problema con un paquete pequeño?

A quest do mapa mostra Arapongas no Brasil e sua escrita parece ser portuguesa. Incrível como uma planta pode unir o mundo inteiro, mais parecido do que diferente. O muito essencial do amor. Não apenas romântico, mais que todas as almas são uma só alma.

I used VF11 for more years than I can remember. It is manufactured here in Ca. They used to take orders from anywhere. Then the pandemic caused problems with production of the product. For now it's Miracle Gro All Purpose Plant Food. These are concentrated liquid form. Mix a very small amount per gal. Directions of course, on the container. This cactus likes to be dry between watering. Easy to overdo it.

Esta é uma das muitas espécies do gênero Epiphilum chamadas Orchid Cactus. Nativo da América Central e do Sul

Thank you for that,, so many great comments,,, yours points to what in psychology is the metaphor of: The opening of a flower symbolizes the opening of consciousness as in, all in it's own time. No way to tell the flower to "hurry up".

Esta planta se llama Orchid Cactus, una especie de Epiphyllum nativa de América Central y del Sur. No estoy familiarizado con tu ubicación en México, pero esperaría encontrar esta planta cerca de ti.

The plant and I thank you.

Es ermoso ese cauto

Alrededor de 35 años. muchas gracias

@@lht4225 gracias por responder esta precioso cuanto tiempo les dura la flor

I have done that. Sent one to someone about 80 miles away. I sealed a cutting in a small container with moist dirt. It was already rooted which is important I think. And the feed back was it worked. So, I'm in Santa Cruz Co. California. Where are you. Lee

@@lht4225 I'm in Philadelphia...I could Venmo you the shipping cost and whatever you would like for the cutting. Also, I have the white large flower orchid cactus variety and the orange easter cactus if you would like to trade =) email me crush0291@yahoo.com

Also, I don't need it to be rooted...I usually can root cuttings easily =) a strong firm cutting would be amazing!

Patience is a must. Then little or no direct sunlight and some plant food for succulents. I use VF11 but it's not sold all over the world so most anything will do fine. A very common mistake is overwatering... let them dry in between waterings. Another lesson I learned was to put a small cutting in a too large a pot,,, spends way too long filling the pot with roots instead of making a space for blossoms.

Indeed, I really had to get aggressive about pruning as it literally strangles itself. So I just pick the nicest shoots and start more. Finally got one to grow outside.

I realized I didn't actually answer your question. They start new shoots till they start to choke others off, not healthy thing to do actually. What happens is the arms do get longer to a point. Even then there is a limit or so it seems. So, Bigger? Only to a point where the pot gets root bound and then it's really time to split it up or prune. So far I am only pruning. It just keeps growing these larger shoots, looking very healthy but it chokes the older ones. Hence the need to prune regularly.

It seems to have peaked at somewhere between 300 and 400 blossoms, only in spring. That would be several years now.

The Orchid Cactus thanks you!

Thank you so much and the blossoms thank you too.

Find someone to send you a cutting with roots on it,,, see if that works in your climate.

This plant is native to central and south America. And of course, California where this plant lives. Near the coast so it doesn't get too hot for very long, doesn't like direct sunlight. Likes it a bit cool but not too close to freezing; typical of northern Ca. nearer to the coast. Lots of these on youtube.

O cacto da orquídea diz obrigado.

Muito obrigado

Ella dice gracias

And the orchid cactus says thank you very much. 💓

Whatever you wish for others is also with you. Blessings.

Lee Thompson mto obg, mas tem alguma coisa que vc coloca para ajudar a flori 😘

@@marlimamprin3405 The translation of your messages is not totally clear but I will have a go at it,,, I think you are asking what makes the plant go so well. I don't know for sure but I do use a plant food available locally called VF11. The rest is what you see I guess. The best soil is that which is very good at draining or not holding the moisture,, it seems that the tendency is to water too much,, I then see what looks like little white cotton formations which I am told is a sign of over watering. I am guilty of this but it seems that it is not terminal since the original plant has grown so large. In the beginning when I received the plant as a very small cutting I had no idea what I had. And it got mostly ignored. I would water only occasionally so it remained mostly dry As it turned out this was what it needs,,, after a year or more I saw these amazing blossoms come out of this still very small cutting and I was hooked from then on. Amazing Grace!

En inglés decimos que una fruta es algo para comer, pero también existen las "frutas" de nuestro trabajo. Entonces, sí, la gran flor hermosa también es el fruto del Cactus Orquídea. Y sobre todo por poco tiempo en la primavera.

Muchas gracias
