E. laui is a fast-growing plant but is known to suffer from die-back of stem tissue. Myron Kimnach had to wait 10 years for the first flowers. However, it has been easily cultivated in Europe. In cultivation E. laui seems to prefer high humidity and soil moisture, as well as rather cool conditions. Plants have survived temperatures near ...
The best thing you can do to improve any kind of soil is to add organic matter. It comes in the form of compost, peat moss, rotted manure, finely ground pine bark mulch and shredded tree leaves.
The soil should contain plenty of leaf-mould and the plant be given regular water and doses of fertilizer in summer. Best kept relatively cool and dry in winter, 10–15 °C (50–59 °F). Plants held under proper conditions can produce flowers at least three times a year, but the main flowering period is spring.
Daviesia epiphyllum is a rigid, erect and spreading, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1.5 m (1 ft 0 in – 4 ft 11 in). Its branches are reduced to flattened, staghorn-shaped phylloclades 5–20 mm (0.20–0.79 in) wide, the leaves reduced to oblong phyllodes 3–12 mm (0.12–0.47 in) long and 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in) wide with cuspidate, sharply-pointed tips.
Epiphyllum oxypetalum is an easily cultivated, fast growing Epiphyllum. It flowers in late spring through late summer; large specimens can produce several crops of flowers in one season. This is a widely cultivated Epiphyllum species. It is known to have medicinal properties in many Asian cultures, including India, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
The soil moisture regime, often reflective of climatic factors, is a major determinant of the productivity of terrestrial ecosystems, including agricultural systems. The soil moisture regimes are defined based on the levels of the groundwater table and the amounts of soil water available to plants during a given year in a particular region.
When soil is irrigated with high alkaline water, unwanted sodium salts build up in the soil which would make soil draining capacity very poor. So plant roots can not penetrate deep into the soil for optimum growth in Alkali soils. When soil is irrigated with low pH / acidic water, the useful salts (Ca, Mg, K, P, S, etc.) are removed by draining ...
Epiphyllum (/ ˌ ɛ p ɪ ˈ f ɪ l əm /; [3] "upon the leaf" in Greek) is a genus of epiphytic plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae), native to Central America and South America. Common names for these species include climbing cacti , orchid cacti and leaf cacti , though the latter also refers to the genus Pereskia .
