The Epiphyllum Oxypetalum is also called the "Orchid Cactus" and the "Queen of the Night". Their night-blooming flowers are so beautiful and so fragrant that people often have Queen of the Night parties just to enjoy the sight of their blooming. My plants bloom in late spring and through the summer and though the flowers (generally) open up in the evening hours, the flowers can remain open till around mid-morning. These plants are super-easy to grow and their cuttings are very easy to root. I grow these plants both in 6"-8" pots, sitting on a shelf or on a plant stand, but I grow most of mine in 10"-12" hanging baskets, allowing room for their pendent stems to drape over the basket.
Since you really need to root a minimum of three cuttings per pot or basket to achieve the best presentation, I suggest you purchase at least three. I send growing/rooting instructions with these plants. Cuttings are only $4.00, and will be a substantial 8-10" long.

I also have rooted plants, large and small.

If you have interest, send me a TM and include your location. PayPal is the quickest and easiest form of payment.

A second variety, and this is a very rare one that I have not found to be available anywhere on the web, is the Epi. Francisca. I only have a single "Mother" plant, and I can take a few cuttings, priced at $6.00 each. I also have two sizes of rooted plants, small ones that are 8"-14" and larger ones, 24"-36" long. The small plants are priced at $12 and the larger ones at $24.

Beautiful Epiphyllums. I have always loved them.

The flowers and the fragrance are something special for sure, Ivy.

Is the E Francisca a day or night bloomer? It's really lovely.

Basically, all the Epiphyllum that I am familiar with are so-called night bloomers. Mine have occasionally been rebels, blooming in the early morning, after the sun rises. The blooms fade during the morning hours. Here are a couple of photos of one of my hanging basket plants in bloom, and the flowers began to open after the sun rose. The photos were taken on November 3, 2016. Needless to say, though I state that they are late spring and summer bloomers, they can bloom later than that.

Ok. Thanks. I have night bloomers but also have some day bloomers. Unfortunately the day bloomers are just emerging from the 'cuttings' stage. Patience is not one of my virtues.
