Plant Care Videos from The Midwife’s Nursery

Plant Care Video Instructions

These care videos were created when plants were a larger part of Art from the Hartt. I’m keeping them here because they’re genuinely useful — good plant care information doesn’t expire.

Houseplants Videos cover epiphyllum cactus varieties including Queen of the Night, rhizomatous begonias, and various succulents. A few bromeliad videos are included as well.

Outdoor Plants Additional videos may cover daylilies, iris, banana yucca, and a few native Southwest US varieties.

If you found one of my plants at Country Flair Antiques in Montrose and need care guidance — you’re in the right place. And if there’s something you’d like to see added to the library, feel free to reach out.

My Orchid Cactus, My Night Lily

Last night was the night . . . the night of my Queen of the Night AKA orchid cactus AKA epiphyllum.  I noticed a small bud weeks ago, when she was still outside.  When I moved her inside, it was with utmost care.  I worried the lights in my kitchen would interrupt her bloom cycle.  Or, cats . . . being cats.

But, the bud continued to swell and swell.  Last night during dinner, I noticed a slight change in shape.  I watched my favorite TV show, Call the Midwife, and sort of forgot about it.  Then, poof, there she was – a huge bloom staring me in the face.

My orchid cactus came from Amazon two falls ago for $4.  A small cutting in a small pot through the winter.  Then, she grew into a bigger pot and moved to the porch, where she spends summer on a drip system.  She is pretty happy. I am hoping for more than one bud next summer.

The blooms only last a few hours.  Like a daylily, but at night.  It is busy at work this week, so I didn’t stay up all night.  But, I did stay up late enough to enjoy her with my bedtime dessert.
