Hi Melanie, I'm sure it will be fine if you plant it in the cactus mix or any well-draining mix. You can plant it in one of those coco fiber baskets and hang it for extra good drainage until it gets a good root system going if you happen to have one on hand, and then you can repot it to a larger container later on after it has grown some nice roots. If you indeed have Epiphyllum oxypetalum, those plants get fairly large in time. I am very surprised that your plant has lived so long in water. After you pot it, keep it warm and above 50 degrees until spring. You can water lightly after you transplant it with Vitamin B-1, Start, or Superthrive, which all help to alleviate transplant shock. Post a picture if you can. Here is one of my Epiphyllum oxypetalum plants:
