COLIBROX 2 pcs Cuttings White Orchid Cactus Epiphyllum Oxypetalum

I ordered my cuttings in 2019. I received a bonus leaf cutting (3 total) rather than 2, about 6-7 inches in length and relatively “young” looking. I honestly didn’t think they would be successful, however only paid $7 plus shipping. I put all 3 cuttings into a small pot with cactus/potting soil mix and noticed growth in a couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, I neglected the cuttings at first, yet the plant would double/triple in size each year. I transferred the plant into a 4 gallon plastic pot in 2022. The plant was kept in a very humid sun/plant room for last 4 years and I think this was the key to it’s exponential growth. I also fertilize and water it, using water from our koi pond. Up until 2023, I would notice flower bud growth, however they would eventually fall off. I considered tossing the plant at one point because I was constantly having to tie it up with stakes as it would get very “leggy” with no blooms to motivate me. I never trimmed back the plant and would let stems fall off naturally due to it’s weight or accidental bumps. Finally, in 2023, I had 1 successful bloom at the end of summer and this gave me hope. It’s now September 2024, and we have had 10+ successful blooms since August. Tonight, I had 5 bloom simultaneously, starting at 8PM, and was so glad to be home to witness it. The scent is lovely. I plan to trim some leaves off to give to plant loving friends/neighbors, since I know this plant isn’t a “dud”, haha. I wish this white epiphyllum’s blooms lasted more than a few hours (9PM-daylight). I have 2 red epiphyllum plants and their blooms will last 2-3 days and the plant is a lot easier to manage, with no staking required.

I ordered this item five months ago. To my surprise, I received three cuttings instead of two. Two of the cuttings were in perfect condition. The third one was smaller in size but I was delighted to have an extra one. I gave one of the regular cuttings to my mom and kept the other two. I planted my two cuttings on the same pot. The regular cutting stood up straight within days. Within a few weeks, new stems started to grow. The second cutting took much longer to start growing. Both plants look incredible now. I have attached a picture I took today after 5 months of purchase. I use no fertilizer, just water. I cannot wait until they start blooming! Update It's now a year later and these amazing cuttings have produced their first blooms. I stayed up enjoying the amazing fragrance and their beauty. I'm so happy with this purchase!

I got mine about three weeks ago, after watching a video online I decided to just place them in water and now they have a root about half an inch long, I am going to wait a little more to plant them in soil, but so far I am very happy they are alive and looking healthy! UPDATE kept In water FOR ABOUT Three MONTHS, plenty of roots about 11/2 inches long ,and leaves are healthy , I planted in some dirt about a month ago, still alive. No new leaves have grown yet, but very healthy. I’m glad they have not died yet.

I have had the three cuttings in water since they arrived in mid February, and they are already showing signs of progress. I will post more photos of their progress in the weeks to come. Update: July 27, 2020. I transferred the cuttings from the water jar into this temporary flower pot a few months ago, and took these new photos last week. Within 24 hours of these photos, the new shoots had grown by no less than 1/2 inch. Adding a low flow drip irrigation system with the Eve Aqua valve controller has been a significant help in this extremely hot climate across the Southeast. More photos to come shortly.

Leaves are not “cuttings”; leaves are cut off, but are not considered the most viable nor most reliable means by which to propagate a full plant. I am very disappointed in this product as, again, I didn’t receive an actual cutting. A plant cutting includes a piece of stem which is more likely to grow roots as root nodes are differentiated and specialized plant cells that are derived from the stem. The stem also provides support and the growth of more leaves. Leaves do not come from leaves, and a full plant will take an EXTREMELY LONG TIME to come from just leaves. And that is IF - a HUGE IF - roots can be coaxed from the leaves. This species of plant is special which is part of its appeal. It is also a very slow grower...it will be YEARS for a decent sized small plant to grow from these 2 leaves - NOT CUTTINGS, leaves. It will be even longer for blooms to flower. The title of the product description falsifies this product and is a dupe.

I really love the plant cuttings ! They arrived today and they are in perfect condition and they are a very generous size. I planted them right away, I already had the pots ready for them. I had some of them a few years ago and they were very easy to care for. I am very pleased and excited to have them again. I recommend this plant from this vendor. Thanks.

I received two orchid cactus cuttings from this seller. Cuttings were wrapped in saran wrap and bubble wrap which was sufficient for the journey. Cuttings arrived in okay condition. I agree with the other writer who noted that the cuttings seemed thin (and flimsy). They also seem to be too new. I posted a pic for comparison. The darker leaf (top) is an orchid cactus I recently purchased. The leaves are thick and dark. The lighter, more delicate looking one on the bottom of the two is what I just received. Will wait to see how it does.

I actually received three cuttings which was a nice surprise! I’ve planted two in a pot and the other separately with the hope of giving it to a friend of mine make it. They arrived in good condition that included a note with instructions. Only time will tell if they’re going to take off but I sure hope they do!
