EPIPHYLLUMS OR ORCHID CACTI 
Deservedly taking the spotlight with all the dramatic appeal of a lovely leading lady, we find our “‘orchid 
cacti’ getting more and more applause as its distinctive, breath-taking beauty becomes known to more lovers 
of flowers. In colors, these skillfully hybridized Epiph;llum blossoms range from purest white to flashy shades 
of carmine, cerise and purple, through a wide range of intermediate blended shades of creamy yellow, soft pinks 
and cool violets. In size, they vary from the three inch clustering blossoms of the dainty Empress types to the 
giant ten inch flowers of many larger varieties. 
EPIPHYLLUM CULTURE 
Ideal soil mixture consists of 6 parts leaf mold, 3 parts well-rotted manure, and 4 parts decomposed granite 
or concrete sand, or a mixture of the two if both are available. The soil must be coarse so that it will drain 
easily and the pot or other container should have drainage holes at the bottom as water stagnation will cause 
damage to the roots. The branches of hanging basket types may be allowed to hang naturally but other kinds 
should be staked and tied for ease in handling. The slender bamboo stakes sold by nurseries are ideal for this 
purpose. The soil should be kept moist at all times and the plants should be kept in partial shade. 






E. hyb. cascade. Flowers very large, white tinged with 
pink .35, flowering size $1.75 
Rooted cuttings are about 6 inches long and may not be expected to flower this year. If buds appear they 
should be removed in order to conserve the strength of the plant for new growth. Medium size plants are those 
which bear one to several branches and some of them may bloom this year. Specimen size plants are 2 feet to 
3 feet high with exception of the dwarf types. These plants will bloom this season and will be shipped in bud if 
ordered in time for March or April delivery. Some kinds bloom later than others and can be shipped in bud 
during May or even June. But the early flowering types, such as E. Ackermannii, should be ordered earlier.
