This group of species includes a number of plants at one tune considered to be related

EPIPHYLLUMS. 
The period of flowering of these plants extends from November to February. 
The I’ereskia Aciileata, upon which Kpiphyllums are usually grafted, is a strong-rooting 
and quick-growing plant, absorbing moisture and nutriment from the soil very rapidly ; 
therefore when throwing large heads of flowers, the assistance afforded should be of a 
liberal character. After flowering less moisture will be required, and the soil may be 
allowed to become partially dry for a few weeks, only giving a little water to prevent* the 
branches being rendered flaccid. Then, as growth is resumed, the water supply may be 
increased.
