APOROPHYLLUMS

    We are able to offer a limited range of small plants of these attractive hybrids between, in the main, Aporocactus and Epiphyllum hybrids. The plants have the long slender pendent stems of the Aporocactus, combined with the flowers of the Epiphyllum. Flowers are mostly 3-5 inches in diameter being produced freely in the spring. We hope to have a much wider range available again in the summer. There are many larger plants available to visitors to the nursery.

    Plants are easy to grow and make ideal subjects for hanging baskets so that their long stems can cascade. They require a minimum temperature of about 42^o F (6^oC) in winter and prefer slight shade from the summer sun. Plants may require the occasional light watering during winter to stop die back of the tips of the stems, particularly if grown in a warmer environment ( i.e. indoors). These plants respond well to regular feeding during the spring and summer with a cactus food (such as Cactigrow) to build up the plants strength for flowering.
