2 ORCHID EPIPHYLLUM CACTUS NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS CUTTINGS QUEEN OF THE NIGHT PLANT GRANDIFLORUS SELENICEREUS EPIPHYTES

I received two large cuttings that had smaller buds that had broken off (2-3" long leaves). One of the large cuttings already came with a "V" cut at the base which looked fairly dry, so as per the instructions it appeared ready for potting. I placed it in a pot with very lightweight potting soil, and only mist it for water to drip down to the soil. The three other leaves I cut the V shape at the base and was waiting for it to get dry a bit before potting. All three were resting on their back near a window with dappled light. I've been misting them not quite daily, but close. All three leaves are growing little rootlets, even the smaller 2" long buds that I didn't expect would survive! The larger cutting shows bits of root about 1/2" long growing at different locations, not just the base - but also along its spine in the back (towards were the soil would be if it were resting on the ground) and recently I also saw a rootlet in the middle of the leaf, on top! I might just place this leaf on top of soil and see what else it does. The other large leaf which was potted on arrival looks pretty viable. I don't want to disturb the soil but I'm pretty sure it's rooting alright.These cuttings are so alive! And while I'd not characterize myself as a plan murderer, I'm also not a flat-out green thumb - I've had many successes and many failures when it comes to plants, and this story is pointing toward success!! I look forward to watching them develop more. (a note on timing: ordered on May 12, received two or three days later, it is now June 28 - so, it's been 45 days give or take)UPDATE 9/28/17: I put all pieces on the soil a couple of weeks after my first installment review... they are doing great! the two large leaves are showing development. One of them has a shoot that appeared really suddenly and is growing quickly and I can tell in the other one that the 'infrastructure' for shoots is developing at a couple of spots. Very exciting.

Fresh and Healthy

The cuttings took well and have been growing ever since I bought them. The plants are not attractive but I bought them for the blooms. After 4 years and 5 months I have my first flower buds and am watching closely for the blooms. Feeling a lot better about them now.

Despite the risk, I ordered beginning of Feb from Maine, and am very pleased with the condition. I expect they will settle in without issue.

I cannot justify the $15 I paid. I was expecting a full leaf, not a cut in half leaf. I received two of the same thing. Hopefully it roots and I can grow from these small pieces.

Pensé que habría más hojas como en la foto solo me llegó 4

Extremely healthy starts. I did exactly as the instructions stated. In just a couple short months, I am seeing new growth on the sides.I live in Western KY where it is incredibly hot and humid. The starts are really enjoying our summer weather.

Received 2 lovely leaves which I cut into 2 pieces each then make a v cut to stick in d soil, placed in a glass of water 1st until I saw some white roots, just about a week then put into soil planting the v cut part into the soil, in a few days it started to sprout beautiful leaves lovely to look at, it is pleasing to look at your plants.
