Cool. Pardon my ignorance though, what is the main difference between them and zygocactus?

Oh ok. It’s just that when my Mum gave me some zygo cuttings she also gave me some that look much the same although they are bigger segment (ie double the width of the zygo. I assumed they were zygos but maybe it’s really an epi? I’ll take a photo later if I get a chance
that flower is 13cm across…
Congratulations BlueGreen!!
Looks lovely
:)

Wow! My mum has a few cacti. I never thought to ask her if the cutting was zygo or epi. I ‘ve never been a huge fan of cacti but I do like the zygos
What’s the full name, BlueGreen? Epiphytum?
epiphyllum, one of the Epiphytum…
An epiphyte is:
“. . . a plant that grows upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically or sometimes upon some other object (such as a building or a telegraph wire), derives its moisture and nutrients from the air and rain and sometimes from debris accumulating around it, and is found in the temperate zone (as many mosses, liverworts, lichens and algae) and in the tropics (as many ferns, cacti, orchids, and bromeliads) — called also air plants.”Thanks…

That’s very pretty BG. Mine have been flowering too. A shame they don’t last very long.

If you want to get technical only the species are ephiphyllums. The day flowering hybrids are Epicacti.
