Xenomorf, I was referring to the picture of the cutting posted on June 17. Perhaps you could post a more current picture. I know that Epiphyllums can vary in their leaf shape, but the thickness of your cutting's lines isn't typical of the shape of E. anguliger. The wavy shape is representative of E. crenatum. I would be interested in seeing a current picture of this one of yours.

Here is my E. crenatum below. The shapes are irregular like your cutting above, and it also produces wavy leaves but not as indented as E. anguliger. E. anguliger on the other hand, rarely deviates in its leaf shape. E. anguliger wouldn't produce a shape such as you have above. E. crenatum, however, frequently has that shape.

Did the nursery that you bought that from identify it for you? If so, I believe it is incorrectly identified.
