ORCHID CACTI 
ORCHID CACTI or Epiphyllums bear the showiest blossoms of all cacti. The flowers 
are very large, from 5 to 10 inches in diameter, and in the brightest pink, violet, 
orange, white and vivid bicolors imaginable. They bear no spines, as they are not 
desert plants, but are found growing on trees and rocks along with Orchids and Bro- 
meliads. They have been vastly improved in color and size in recent years. The 
flowers now last several days and even Orchids pale beside their glorious coloring. 
The delicate petals are like satin, the colors fresh and brilliant. They vary considerably 
in shape. Some starry, others bowl shaped, with wide overlapping petals. 
Culture. In general they should be treated very much as one would ferns or begonias or even 
geraniums, This is understandable when one remembers they are not desert plants but native to the 
warm upland forests of Mexico and Central America. They enjoy a soil of gritty sand, leafmold and 
sandy, rich loam in about equal proportions. An average plant as shipped should have about a 
4-inch pot until well established. Give plenty of fresh air, a well lighted position and water moder- 
ately when dry. Winter them cool at about 50 degrees. They flower in April and May.
