My mom is moving and was going to throw her Epiphyllums away because they haven't done well for her. I said I would take them, but now I don't know what to do with them. They are about 3 years old and are planted in fairly large pots in what looks like garden soil. They look like they need more light to me, and probably need to be fed. So.....
1.what kind of pot do they like-do they like to be in a smaller pot or a bigger one and is a light cactus mix OK for them? I know they are jungle plants so I could add some orchid bark to my mix.
2. What kind of light should I give them? I'm planning to put them on my deck with bright shade and some filtered sun.
3. What do they want to eat?

Any tips are very much appreciated!
