Epipyllum 'Gold Charm'- Long narrow leaves cascade beautifully.  Beautiful golden  flowers have lighter, inner petals and dark gold back petals.  They are smaller than many Epiphyllum hybrids, measuring up to 4 inches across, but they are HIGHLY FRAGRANT!  A single flower will fill an entire room with an incredible fragrance.
Epiphyllum grow in trees in the forests of South America and prefer bright, filtered light and well drained, potting mix.  They will grow in pots with stakes or supports but most do best in hanging baskets.  One of the very best locations for Epis is hanging from the branches of a favorite garden tree in the summer.  I Use a potting mix of equal parts of small orchid bark, perlite, leaf mold and charcoal.  Water sparingly when first transplanted.  As the plant matures, they will enjoy more moisture, letting the soil dry just slightly and breathe between waterings.  Epiphyllum will not tolerate full sun or freezing temperatures.  Anything below 35 degrees runs the risk of brown spots and leaf damage.  40 degrees and above is ideal.  They also aren't fond of extremely hot temps. (above 100 degrees F.).  Although, I have grown them in these summer temps in full shade with a lot of humidity (spraying the foliage in the morning).  Epis make great houseplants that can be grown outside in summer and moved inside for winter.
Feed Epiphyllum with a balanced fertilzer 8-8-8 or 10-10-10 from June to October.  Give them a rest and keep them slightly drier from November to January then feed with a low nitrogen fert., 2-5-5 or similar from February to April to encourage better bloom.
