What is this plant exactly and what do I do with it? #Hap...

Hi, took a shoot of this plant from my Mom. Her’s appeared to be dying so I wanted to try and save some of it. Greg identified it as Dragonfruit Cactus? I’ve tried different light and when I found the right combo it started sprouting these pups(maybe)? What do I do? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PropagationStation #PlantID

My most recent accommodation…should I tuck it in or leave it hanging over the side?
It looks like an Orchid Cactus (Epiphyllum) to me. Congratulations on all the new growth! πŸ™Œ

A friend gave me a long cutting similar to yours a couple months ago and I cut it into several shorter pieces and propagated those. They’re going well now!

You might consider doing that to create a bushier plant with more roots so that it can sustain longer growth in the future 🌱
@MimiGreenthumb Here were my cuttings from the one long piece he gave me. And an earlier progress pic πŸ“Έ
@debbiedo Thank you! I will give that a try!
@MimiGreenthumb Just snip them at a diagonal, let the ends callous, and nestle them back into the soil πŸ‘πŸ»πŸŒ±
