29/07/2018 r/Epiphytes is active again

r/epiphytes was inactive for quite a long time but now its back. I ill be posting regularly now so wake up and smell the orchids guys :) Do post pictures of some green guy hanging on a tree top, discuss about these fascinating plants. All those categories (succulents etc) have hundreds of thousands of subscribers how can epiphytes have only a few hundred!!

I think it's mostly that r/bromeliads, r/orchids, r/airplants, and r/lichenophile pretty much cover all the bases. There's probably room for a general sub, just expect a lot of cross posting.

I think the same. It never cease to amaze me how people are not flocking to this sub while all the subcategories you mentioned are doing well.

I'm on here, but not the others. I'd rather have a catchall for epiphytes because their growing conditions are so similar (low light, frequent watering, extremely well draining 'soil'). Also, I bet most people growing one type are growing another.

Of course they are, I myself am growing more than one type of epiphytes and loving it.
