Epiphyllum hybrid

For example, × Disoselenicereus fulgidus (Disocactus speciosus × Selenicereus pteranthus) and × Aporodisocactus mallisonii (Aporocactus flagelliformis × Disocactus speciosus) are too morphologically dissimilar to Epiphyllum to be called "epiphyllum hybrids".

They are found in the tropical forests of Central America where they grow as climbers or on trees as epiphytes.

Relatively large flowers are borne on the sides of the stems; in many species they open at night.

It is recommended that the growing medium allows rapid drainage of water and is open, with at least one third of coarse material to prevent compaction.

Epiphyllum hybrids should be re-potted every 2 to 3 years as they tend to sour and deplete the nutrients in their growing medium.
