Identifying Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum) from Cutting

I have a cutting with no ID. It acts like a cactus—similar to Christmas cactus but larger. It grows long tendrils with air roots, then pokes out leaves that thicken over time. Can send a picture.

Expert Advice

I believe you have an orchid cactus or night-blooming cereus, botanically Epiphyllum oxypetalum. If unsure, email a photo to wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com.
