If you have them, can we see pictures? And do you maybe have some helpful hints for me to keep my plants alive?
I have only just started with cuttings, I saw another tortoise keeper who kept epis and they have beautiful flowers on them, so I thought I would have a go. I know they dont like being over watered, or midday sun, which for me the sun is a problem at the moment, as I dont have any shady bits in my garden. So have them in the greenhouse, with window and door open. Its bubble wrapped to keep most of the suns glare off:0)
