Caring for Your Epiphyllum Plants. A Guide to Blooming Success

My Epiphyllum collection has two new flowers. One, the red, is the largest flower I have had. Perhaps, if there is flowering someday, “Queen of the Night” will have an even bigger flower.

Why I Do NOT "Verify my Information" In the Third Part Owned Websites

 Did you notice that every “navel of the world” pretends you “verify your information” by uploading photos of your documents? Here is one of them:

.. members have the option to verify their identity by uploading a government ID and/or taking a live selfie using certain trusted partners. 

The same you can find on all the “big” websites, etc. Every cat and rat on the Earth knows they sell the info they collect.  I don't want to analyze anything here. These are only my observations.

If they want to demonstrate that they are more important than governments and their laws, or that the Internet is a more important service than others. By the way, we are now used to seeing it not as someone's property but as a public good.

From time to time, FB or others block and delete our profiles if your opinion is not so as they want to publish. They are right. It's their property and their “house” and they can do what they want there. You not. They yes. 

If you open your own website, you will do the same. 

If I don't want to publish adult content on my website, I'll cancel adult content that somebody posts on my website. 

If my website is about the dances, I'll cancel content about the engineering structures. 

And so to get your profile back, you must give them your documents. So, a page in the Third Part Owned websites is so indispensable to you that you give them your documents to have it back. 

Nonsense, if you think about it, hmm?

All these “Empires” have something in common: they are not able to protect your information from hackers and don't want to do anything to help you if you lose your precious profile. 

After that, you voluntarily give them your documents. 

Nonsense of nonsense.

I don't want to be precious. My opinion is that anyone must be as safe as a Swiss bank to ask to collect other people's documents. And third-party websites are not.

That's all.

 

How is the Epiphyllum plant cared for? When does Epiphyllum flower?

 I already wrote that more epiphyllum plants are blooming in my house this year (The Spring Flowering of Epiphyllum Begins). It's the second year I've had flowering. I bought 15 varieties of this plant from a lady who reproduces them and sells them through her Facebook profile. For 2 or 3 years there were no flowers. A year ago there was one plant.
