Looking to expand some more especially on the epiphytic Hippeastrums. That is very interesting. Didn't know bulbs as epiphytes as possible lol.

But I am still excited by the topic of your post, because even for us fans of xeric plants, some succulent epiphytes are just too cool to ignore.<br /><br />That is, I <i>want</i> to contribute, but one nice problem is that your article covers most of the ones I like already.

Google gives conflicting assessments, though, and they seem to do best in a sphagnum-heavy potting mix, so I'm uncertain.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-16974365395833486352010-12-28T04:43:03.525-08:002010-12-28T04:43:03.525-08:00Aeschynanthus and Cryptanthus?
