Hi All, I have two new epi's that were rooted this spring from friend's mother plants and they are growing very, very well...I have them inside our insulated shop hanging in front of an east facing window, use Cactus Juice on them for fertilizer when I think about watering them which is about every other week, sometimes 3 wks, have both pots of soil completely covered including under the leaves with about an inch/inch & 1/2 of very finely cut banana peels...how long should I leave them in the unheated shop until I bring them into the room I have in the house that has no heat to it? This room which houses my Schlumbergera, Stapeliads, Rhipsalis and Hoyas gets down to about 50-55 degrees at night and I open the door during the day and it comes up to close to 68-69 degrees with an east facing window...It gets down to freezing every night now and soon we will have snow but the shop would only freeze if we got well below zero...I need you who have grown these for long periods to guide me, please...your pics are awesome and really inspiring so look forward to raising mine where I can post some pics, too...this is a pic of where my fella's grow...I couldn't get the top shelf in which has my large Schlumbergeras on it which are blooming beautifully...Thank you for your help...Deb
