I was wondering if anyone had any epiphyllum cuttings available?

Hi Cameron!
I have two Epiphyllum, one is "Just Beautiful" ( it was sold as this but has not bloomed yet), and another one I can't recall the name but is some fancy named variety (also has not yet bloomed). Anyway they are growing well and I could easily take a cutting. I also have a Ric Rac Plant, which I think is an Epiphyllum.
I just had an idea. Maybe we should do some kind of Round Robin for succulents like this. A small USPS box is about $7, and these would survive quite some time in a box. If we had a half dozen people to trade we could send a box around, each person getting a bunch of cuttings for $7. What do you think?

Hi Mary! That Just Beautiful is definitely beautiful. I don't have much to trade could I do postage?

Happy to do that! Remind me next week, I will be too busy this week to fiddle with it. Plus how hot is it there, we might want to wait a month or so so the plants won't be cooked en route. I used to live in Dallas and I remember how hot it was in Autumn.

Thanks Mary. You're right about it still being hot in autumn here. Thankfully we're finally getting some rain though it might lead to flooding. I really appreciate it. Thumbs up

Ah I found it!
I knew I had said I could do some kind of trade with someone, but I forgot what it was about.
I could do it this month if you are still interested.
My sister got her Ric Rac to bloom by putting it in her greenhouse, here in Seattle that means it got lots of light, and hot during the day but cool at night. I think this means my Epiphyllums should be closer to the window.

Hi Mary! I forgot too lol. I had gotten an ackermannii cutting that rooted and I spotted a little new growth. I had always heard Ric Rac ones are hard to bloom so that's amazing that your sister got hers to bloom. I'm going to start cracking my window to let cool air in for a few that I have. Thumbs up
