When I bought this, it had a tag on it that said 'epiphyllum -orchid cactus'. Is that what this is and does anyone have a name. The bud is about 1/2 in. - 1in. and then it sets a little round 'fruit'. If you squish it, it has tiny little seeds in it.
Sorry, a little blurry, plus the color is off, just took it a few minutes ago and it was dark. Here is another pic
The little round 'fruit' at the top.
No name but it looks like one of the epis do not know what species it belongs to.

Looks kind of like Hylocereus undatus "Dragon Fruit"
It looks like Acanthorhipsalis monacantha. It is rhipsalis cactus and it rots very easily.
Hello,
I have this same plant and was wondering if you know how to flower this plant?

I just keep mine in the GH during the winter and hang it outside during the summer and it has flowered the last two years, but I can't get mine to be a nice healthy green. Is yours green or yellow looking like mine?
"It looks like Acanthorhipsalis monacantha. It is rhipsalis cactus and it rots very easily."
I agree with Rhodridgeback and your's looks very healthy to me. The yellow tone is probably because you might be hanging it towards the roof of your greenhouse and it's getting ample light. However, the number of blooms tells you that what you are doing is right for this plant. Especially since it has bloomed repeatedly for you. Good job! bob
