If you are like me, the squirrels take your plant tags. For some reason I can never remember epiphyllum. What's that huge plant...errr. giant cactus that I can never get to bloom. You have no idea how well I can grow those things but so far, I have never managed to bloom one because the temperatures don't get low enough, BUT THE NAME.
The squirrel, as usual, is the culprit. He bit through the nylon hanging basket cord so I had to replace it with metal ones today. The metal ones are UGLY and they have 4 wires instead of the three I use on the pot. So, I use pony beads to cover the wires but I still have one wire left and I am too superstitious to cut it off so I usually hang something from it.
Last night I was at Michaels, which is not the place to get pony beads, and they had 2 packages of alphabet beads on clearance. For 2 bucks, I can't go wrong. I will use them and today, I had a use. I had to go to JoAnn's to get nice jeweled plastic pony beads cheap.
I looked at the extra wire hanging out and package of alphabet beads and it all came together. I will not be forgetting Epiphyllum again.
And if I do, I can just read the wire.
