Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Does anyone grow Epiphyllum as an epiphyte?, 1 by nmcnear

I bought an Epiphyllum cactus today to plant in a tree in my yard, but I can't find any information on growing them epiphytically. I guess most people prefer to keep them potted? Anyway, I planted it in the tree in a similar manner to my Aeschynanthus garrettii (which seems to be doing well), so hopefully the cactus will thrive too. For the past couple nights, the temperature has fallen to the mid-30s, but it's supposed to warm up now. The tree should protect the cactus from any frost later this winter too. Is anyone growing their Epiphyllums in a similar manner?
