Mike,

Is this some kind of Epiphyllum? Try the link below. They usually have a nice collection of Epiphyllum and they are located in CT!

Hi Romain..:

It looks like it is called "Queen of the nit" or another name, "Selenicereus grandiflorus"...I think it is different than what Logee's sells..

I am not even sure if they be grown as a houseplant...I am still reading about them as we speak...

Thank you..

Mike

Hi Mike...

I have two epiphyllum Queen of the Nights that I found as Exotic Angel houseplants 2 or 3 years ago at Lowes. They are indoor houseplants, spend the summer outdoors, and have gotten huge but since they were both a pot of EA cuttings I assume it will take a few years for bloom, hopefully next summer. Learning here. I have no other experience with these and have never seen a bloom in person just a desire after seeing the photos too! I've never seen them at my local Lowes since but you might want to keep an eye out for them there. I also just bought seed for garden crossed hybrids (day bloomers) on ebay for a few dollars just to try.

epiforms is FULL of great information plus has a list of where to buy these and hybrids. You do have to join to read the posts - it's worth it, lots of info.

You guys are talking about two different plants. Kissing cousins, but still different plants. One is Epiphyllum oxipetalum and one is Selenicereus grandiflorus. The Selinicerious is much more difficult to grow in a pot inside , especially up in Maine. The oxy has to have big space (6' wide and dangly) but the Selinecerius loves to climb a structure or dangle in a very rangy manner. I have seen it in pots. I have one in a pot and it goes in and out. I am thinking about putting it in the ground by an old tree stump and wrapping it with bubble wrap when it gets cold. I am in Central Texas. I am glad it was in a pot last year when we got our 25 year cold snap. It is not that happy right now, so I am not an authority on how to grow the Selenicerious. I guess I need to do some more research on it. The E. Oxy is VERY happy. I got that one down.

I got mine in a trade. Mine is still not of trading size. Sorry.

Mike I grow Oxy and Slenicereus grandifourus,Slenicereus spinulosus and all 3 are night bloomers, they take a few to bloom from cuttings, the Slen, I grow in full sun all summer and they get a little woody looking but right now my Spinulosus has buds on it, hoping, its stay warm enough for it to bloom. But you know here in New England it can turn nasty fast.

You might want to post on the exchange page of the "florida gardening" forum, that is where I got mine, several people on there grow it. I would trade with you but unfortunately I only have a teeny stump due to last winter and my own negligence *embarrassed* :)

I have dragonfruit with very similar flowers, and a different epi that also looks similar when it flowers.

Hi Mike,
Dont buy the oxypetalum. I am sending you a few pieces of this one. It is true that they grow like crazy. I left this one at my parents house when I moved out because it does take a tremendous amount of space. I got a call from my mom and she told me that she was waiting for the day that that was going to strangle her..LOL. Once you have an established cutting, you can expect some new growths to be a couple feet long. No joke, mine had some growths that were 4 ft long in one summer!! The blooms are great! Just make sure your going to be home to enjoy them! Mine only lasted one night and that was it. As soon as the sun went down, the bud would begin to open. By the time the sun came up, it was closing. Logees describes it as having flowers the size of dinner plates. I had some that were even larger than that!!! Mine is pitifull now compared to when it was in its glory. I wished I would have found a way to care for it here. At one point, that plant was around 10ft long but I have had it for over 10 years. You can control the growth with pruning. Just make sure you do it at the right time or you will end up with no blooms. I will have to read up on my notes on this before I can tell you when to prune it. I can send you 3-4 nice cuttings next week with the others if you want okay? I also have a nice big pink epi. I don't know the name of the variety but it is really pretty. Trust me, neither of them will take a lifetime to get blooms from. My oxy bloomed in 1.5-2 years after I got it. I started a couple for friends and the one I gave to my landlords mom bloomed the same year I rooted it! The pink variety I bought locally and they had rooted cuttings with buds on them. I will say that it may take a couple years for those blooms to reach there potential.
