    Hi All
    I got this cutting from my brother in law who lives in the UK.
    A few months back and has grew quite well but as you can see in the pic its not looking too healthy. I am presently living in Spain, so temperatures are hot 34c at the minute. I don’t know if it has over watered it ??? Could you give me some advice on what the plant is, plus best way to treat it
    My brother in law originally got his cutting from a visit to relations in Canada

    Many thanks Keith

    Most of it seems fine, but the stem on the left side that looks damaged. Can it be scorching? These plants (Epiphyllum, usually hybrids), are "jungle cacti" and do not thrive in strong sunlight. Are you keeping it outdoors? In direct light or indirect/filtered light?

    Could be. If you can, put in in the shade of a tree, a sheet of white cloth or something like that, and see if it looks better after a few weeks.
    But I wonder why only one stem was affected. Was it more exposed than the rest?
