We have this in the nursery. I would like to know primarily what it is and secondarily how to care for it, and maybe propagate it and add it to a host tree. thanks a million guys!

I use to have a night blooming cereus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum or Hylocereus undatus) growing up a coco but this doesn't look like it, so I'm stumped.-Peter

The weight of lies will bring you down / And follow you to every town / Cause nothin happens here

That doesn't happen there / So when you run make sure you run / To something and not away from

Cause lies don't need an aero plane / To chase you anywhere

A friend of mine, having a collection of more than 180 Epiphyllum said: Epiphyllum anguliger.

Strangely … as you said. :)

Propagation is quite easy: cut some cuttings , keep them dry 1 week before planting in a Epiphyllum mix, 1/3 fine grit, 1/3 leaf mold, 1/3 garden soil, + per pot 1 full hand of perlite.

I have seen in Sri Lanka Epiphyllum against Ficus trunks or stone walls.  
You should avoid the heavy rain on the plant; either tree canopy or any protection can be useful.

I have seen similar Cryptocereus/Selenicereus anthonyanus.  Supposedly pink bloom.  I believe care is the same.

So many species,

so little time.
