Epiphyllum (/ ˌ ɛ p ɪ ˈ f ɪ l əm /; [2] "upon the leaf" in Greek) is a genus of epiphytic plants in the cactus family (Cactaceae), native to Central America and South America. Common names for these species include climbing cacti , orchid cacti and leaf cacti , though the latter also refers to the genus Pereskia .
The plants that bear such flowers can be tall, columnar, and sometimes extremely large and tree-like, but more frequently are thin-stemmed climbers. While some night-blooming cereus are grown indoors in homes or greenhouses in colder climates, most plants are too large or ungainly for this treatment and are only found outdoors in tropical areas.
