A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Epi or Dutchman's Pipe

Back several years ago I was given an Epi and when I moved here I almost killed it. But I got a tip cutting and it has regrown from that little bit. This year it went crazy. The "stem" is all the way to the ceiling from the table. it's alittle over 2 years old now and from what I understand it needs to be 3 years old before it will flower.

Should I prune it back or do I continue to let it grow?

Show us it .
I had one an it didnt grow.

I would love to be able to take pictures inside my house but I can't. So no picture of the epi, I'm sorry.

Are you able to take it outside an take a photo?

????????????

I wouldn't try that it isn't that well supported I'd be afraid it would tumble over and fall out of it's pot.

Ok....Your excused.

dodge

I was up before the sun this morning so I gave it a shoot you really can't see much.

LOL

Good try , I can see all your lights.

Pull the curtain back an try that.
thanks

dodge

Those curtains don't move. And I have the film on the windows so you can't see in from outside.

Oh well, Your a tricky lil bugger then .
Dont blame you . I use venetian blinds for the effect. Eerie to come down from a bath in jammies , an outside looking in. EEK.

dodge

I got tired of having to mess with curtains, trying to get the gather even all the way across was a pain. So now they don't move.

ok

Thanks seeds came today.. I planted some already

;o)

dodge

I'm glad they made it. I'm still waiting for yours. But I'm sure they will be here soon.

?

You said not to send any.
However I will if you want some.

What did I promise?

EEk

Red sweet williams
white columbine
what else?

oh, I thought you said you had sent the red sweet williams. I get so confused. You don't have to send anything.

I put them in the mail today.

I had them all ready an your card said no seeds.
I put them in the box today. Probably about thursday , arrival.

dodge

No problem

i'm so sorry for the confusion. It seems to be a permanent state with me.

Can I plant them this year when they arrive?

I think so.

I will look up more on that.

Dont worry , Probably your medicines.

I sent all perennials,

Keep in the shaded areas to plant now.

Thanks Dodge.
