check_circle In Stock
Epiphyllum 'Old Vintage' is a hybrid orchid cactus cultivated for its delicate, pastel-toned blooms. Its stems are flattened and segmented, typical of epiphyllum hybrids derived from Central and South American species that grow in forested habitats. The flowers of this cultivar are broad and layered, with petals shaded in soft pink and white, sometimes blending into deeper pink towards the tips. The blooms are large and open widely, typically produced in the warmer months.
Care Tips
- Light: Best grown in bright, indirect light; avoid prolonged exposure to harsh midday sun.
- Water: Maintain even moisture during growth and flowering, allowing the top of the mix to dry slightly between waterings; reduce during winter.
- Media: Use a coarse, well-draining medium enriched with organic matter.
- Fertiliser: Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring and summer, switching to a potassium-rich formula prior to flowering.
- Temperature: Suited to warm climates and should be protected from temperatures below 10°C.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years to refresh the medium and provide space for continued growth.
