no idea - epiphyllum?

[widea]

Hi,

The owner of a nursery gave me this but I forgot to ask the name:

I had to guess what kind of soil to use but so far it seems to be growing well.
If you ask me it looks like a kind of Epiphyllum but I could be completely wrong.

Thanks!

Looks more like an asclepiad (Stapelia, Huernia, Orbea)

Definitely an asclepiad, once flowering it will be much easier to identify. Typically gorgeous but smelly flowers.

While it is an Asclepiad, it would be better to call it a Stapeliad as it is more specific which will allow you find more information. Like Eduart says though, you'll need flowers to even get it to genus.

Did you put it in that orchid type mix because you thought it was an epiphyllum? It probably should go into your regular cactus mix.

Yes I did and you are probably right I should move it to an other mix. Thanks!
