I am trying to identify this plant that was given to me by someone who did not know what it was. It’s similar to a Christmas cactus but it is definitely not one of the “holiday“ cacti. I do know that it’s blooms are red. It had begun to rot from the soil being kept too wet and I want to propagate what’s left of it into fresh, more appropriate potting mix. Since I have no idea what it is, it’s hard to determine how I should propagate and take care of it. I’ve attached several pictures and I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
If the flowers are large (a few inches wide), then it is likely one of the many hybrids between Epiphyllum and similar genera (these hybrids are sometimes called Epicactus). Anyway, all of these flat-stemmed epiphytic cacti are cared for in about the same way.
Thank you…I believe it’s Disocactus ackermannii after reading the references you gave..,appreciate the help.
