Description: The RED JUNGLE CACTUS is related to the Rhipsalis, Epiphyllum, and other Jungle Cacti. They all grow in the same manner, best as hanging plants or in tall pots to allow the pretty stems (NOT leaves) to show off. Lepismium cruciforme has a small pink flower. The succulent fruits on my plants are so abundant that sometimes I make a shortcake with them. This plant grows easily in both shade and bright light. It is a perfect plant to accompany orchids, bromeliads, and tropical foliage plants. All the plants in our photographs are one very fruitful, very floriferous, very RED clone. If you grow in full sun and reduce watering, they look like the reddest plants. More water and less shade means less red, so you can grow them as you like, but even shaded plants are reddish. You can see the juicy translucent red fruits on this plant. Here are some new photos so you can easily see how large and gorgeous this plant is. It was grown as a hanging plant under the patio cover edge, so has dark red stems on the sunlit side and less red stems on the inside. The whole plant will turn deep red if rotated in sunshine. Cuttings are very easy to root. The greenish red photos show how they look after a wet cloudy winter/spring. The red photos show what happens in summer/fall with reduced watering. We are selling 2 (TWO) good sized cuttings of Lepismium cruciforme, for $10. FREE SHIPPING The following is a reply to a question from a customer. [[ A clone is a genetically identical plant, like identical twins or all Yellow Delicious apples or all tulips of one variety. All the Lepismium are cuttings of the same plant. In the summer when it is hot and I don't water much, they turn bright red. In the cold winter when it is wet, they get greenish. But they are all genetic twins of my huge stock plant. My stock plant clone is the REDDEST one that I have seen, when growing in the hot dry summer. ]] I DO NOT USE PESTICIDES IN MY YARD. My plants are not small seedlings, but mostly variable sized adults of different weights and sizes, so shipping is quite variable. I ALWAYS add free plants to make up for any excess shipping charges. TO GET COMBINED SHIPPING, PLEASE ORDER AND PAY FOR ALL PLANTS. ONCE I PACKAGE THEM FOR SHIPMENT, I WILL AUTOMATICALLY REFUND EXCESS POSTAGE. Remember that Paypal, EBay, and shipping supply companies take a bite of the charges.
