Indeed! I believe what you will soon be inheriting is an Epiphyllum Oxypetalum. Being that you are from washington I'd suggest you make sure any potting mix you use is on the gritty side so that it doesnt hold too much moisture. Though if its hot, moisture will help. They dont like prolonged periods out in the cold, but if its like 65-75 degrees during the day and dips into the 40's for a few hours at night, it wont die. They like to be slightly rootbound and since yours seems to be, it's not too bad. If you wanna pot it up, i'd go for one thats just slightly bigger with a gritty soil. This forum is full of people who have these so dont be scared to ask questions!!

Wait a minute, $10 for a cutting or the whole plant? For the plant it is a fair price. I'd pay no more that $15 for the pot she is holding, if that is what she is asking. The larger ones, I'd snatch up for no more than $25 for the pot, even if they are probably NOID's. But I live in a state where I can drive a few hours either way and be in Epi heaven. If she is asking those prices for cuttings pay no more than $5 tops for the oxy and $7 for the hybrids. Have you asked on the exchange forum, I'm sure somebody would be more than happy to send you a cutting. I would, but I don't trade out of state for anything but rooted plants or something I really, really want. I would ask Pirate Girl where a good place to find epies is. If I remember right she has a few of them.

That's a common survival feature with cactus, AEC - they'll put out additional roots (whether or not they need the extra nutrition, it seems) to take advantage of another possible rooting point (and source of nutrition). That plant looks ripe for repotting. But yes, those are roots.

Robin-yes, epies come in all colors and sizes (up to dinner plate size). Most of the manmade hybrids bloom in the day, while the true species bloom at night. I acquired half of mine via GW swaps from the plant trade forum. The rest I bought as either cuttings or plants from Smoleys Gardenworld or Amazon. Be wary of Smoleys...80% of the plants I got from him have been mislabeled. There are some epie online stores.. Pat's Epies and Matt's Landscaping seem to have huge collections, but for the most part, they only sell cuttings. I've not done buisiness with them. There's a seller on Amazon now who sells rooted plants for $15, I've bought two of these, one now in bloom, but their selection is limited. Every time a leaf falls off one of my plants, I pot it up for the swap. Problem is, because all my plants are so close to each other, if I find a leaf on the ground, I have no clue which plant it came from. Also, on the way home from that shopping trip at Smoleys, a lot of broken off leaves remained in the back seat. I potted them up, again, not knowing what plant they came from. I'm pretty sure that's were Tom's came from. I do have pink and can share but would like to wait a month or two ...half are setting buds and I don't want to cut them before they bloom, and the other half are dying from too much rain. I moved them all out to the back of the house the other day in an attempt to save them. The north side of the house where I had all the tropicals isn't getting enough sun to dry out, it's a swamp back there. Lori
