Mahalo i kēia, ua loaʻa ka inoa o ua lāʻau nei. ʻO nā niho ma ke kolo a puni a he mauʻahaʻaina me ka 1-2 keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo.
Ke ulu nei ka mea kanu me nā pua keʻokeʻo a 20 cm ka lōʻihi a me ka 6-8 cm ke anawaena. Ma kahi o ka pua, aia nā lauʻeleʻele o ka perianth, 4-5 cm ka lōʻihi, lemon ma ka'ōmaʻomaʻu a me ke kala-melemele i loko o ke kala. Ulu ka mea kanu i ka pō a he ikaika nui. Ma hope o ka uluʻana,ʻikeʻia nā hua'ōmaʻomaʻo-'ōmaʻomaʻo he hulu manu, 3-4 kn ke anawaena.
ʻO ka mea kanu i piliʻole ia i ka ponoʻole. ʻO kēiaʻano he mauʻano likeʻole e uluʻia ma muli o ka heleʻana aʻano likeʻole keʻano, ka laulā a me ka nui o nā momona.

ʻO ka Epiphyllum Phyllanthus
ʻO nā homeland - Central a me South America. Hana i nāʻano nui i kahi 1 m kiʻekiʻe me nā wili o ke kīhāpai a hiki i 50 knm ka lōʻihi a hiki i ka 10 knm ākea. He'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo ka'ōmaʻomaʻo i kaʻula, nui i hoʻopiliʻia, me kaʻike nui ma nā isolas a me ka pūpū kiko. Ma ke kumu he'enela cylindrical aʻekolu paha o ka tetrahedral e pili ana i 2-3 cm ke anawaena, a laila e hele i ka palaka a me ka lahilahi. He nui nā pua, a hiki i 30 knm ka lōʻihi a hiki i ka 18 knm ke anawaena, keʻokeʻo me kahi o nā māmā.
Pō ka pō. Ma hope o ka pollination,ʻikeʻia kahi hua manu i loko o ka'ahuʻulaʻulaʻula. I ka ulu lāʻau, ulu ka phyllanthus ma luna o nā kalaunu o nā wao nahele.
He mea nui! I mea e hoʻonui loa ai ka epiphyllum, mai poina e hānai iā ia me nā mea kanu paʻakikī i ka wā e ulu ana. I ka hoʻoilo, e hoʻopauʻia ka puaʻana, a me ka hoʻoinu e hoʻemiʻia i nā puleʻelua.
ʻO ka epiphyllum serrated (Epiphyllum Hookeri)
ʻO Mexico a me Honduras kahi i hānauʻia aiʻo epiphyllum i ka wā i ulu aiʻo ia ma luna o nā kumu lāʻau a ma luna paha o nā pōhaku. Ua like ka ulu o ka mea kanu me he lāʻau ulu, ua kūkuluʻia ka lāʻau i 60-100 cm ka lōʻihi a hiki i ka 10 knm ka laulā,'ōmaʻomaʻo mālamalama i kaʻoni. I nā lālā o nā mea ulu, ua hoʻonuiʻia ke kumu o ke kumu o ka pahu,ʻekolu a hāʻina paha. He palahalaha nā'ōpuʻu me keʻano o nāʻaoʻao, me kaʻole o ka'ōwili.
Hōʻalo ka manawa ulu i ka hopena o ke kauwela - ke hoʻomaka o ke kauwela. ʻO nā pua o ka pua i 30 cm ka lōʻihi aʻo ke anawaena a hiki i 20 knm ke keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo a iʻole kaʻaila, kahi meaʻala a me ka pua i ka pō. No ka manawa mua i hōʻikeʻia kahi epiphyllum i hōʻikeʻia ma ka hōʻike o ka Lākia Gardening o London (1844) a ua loaʻa iā ia ka uku kiʻekiʻe loa no ka hana hou.
ʻO ka Epiphyllum acid-petal (Epiphyllum Oxypetalum)
ʻO ia keʻano maʻamau. Ma keʻano, ulu ka ulu o ka nahelehele ma Mekikoka, Venezuela, Brazil i loko o nā pali pōhaku aiʻole ma nā lālā lāʻau. He mau kūpuni kūpono ia, kahi i kuʻiʻia. ʻO keʻano o nā koʻi e hoʻopuniʻia a ma ke kumu e hiki ai iā ia ke ulu aʻe me kaʻelemakule. ʻO ka'ōpiopio he pālahalaha, he kikokiko, heʻelima keʻewa a kuhikuhiʻia i ka hopena. Hoʻonui ke kiʻekiʻe i ka 2-6 m a me ka laulā o 10-12 cm.
Ma muli o nā pua naniʻala nui, ua kapaʻia kēia cactusʻo "queen of the night". Hōʻalo ka manawa ulu i ka hōkū aiʻole ke kauwela paha, akā e ulu ana nāʻano nui i nā manawa he nui i kēlā me kēia hola. He nui nā puaʻa, keʻokeʻo,ʻano hamolepi, a hiki i 30 knm ka lōʻihi a hiki i ka 17 knm ke anawaena. Ma hope o ka pollination, huaʻulaʻula o ka'āpana āpau a hiki i 12cm ka lōʻihi. Ke ulu koke nei kēiaʻano a hoʻoponopono hou.
Epiphyllum Ackerman (Epiphyllum Ackermanii)
ʻO kēiaʻano e pili ana i ka cacti pua me nā lālā wili 30-45 cm ka lōʻihi. He nui nā pua pua, maikaʻi a hele mai i nāʻano keʻokeʻo, e pili ana i nāʻano likeʻole. ʻO ka nui loa o kaʻulaʻula. Wā kahiki -ʻApelila - Iune. 
ʻO ka mea kanuʻo Apherman epiphyllum he mau'ōmaʻomaʻu'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo'ōmaʻomaʻo he 30-45 cm ka lōʻihi, 3-5 cm ka laulā.
I ka heleʻana o ka Ackermann epiphyllum, ua mālamaʻia nāʻanoʻano likeʻole me Hermesissimus, a he mau momona kaomi i'ōleloʻia, a uaʻikeʻia e nā hua o ka hoʻoilo. I loko o kona mau kapaʻulaʻula ulaula, ua hoʻonohoʻia kekahi pūpū gula.
ʻO ka Epiphyllum a puni (Epiphyllum crenatum)
Ua hōʻikeʻia kēiaʻano i Europa i ka makahikiʻumikumamāiwa mai Central America. He'ōpuʻu'ōmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo, pālahalaha ma nāʻaoʻao a me ka'ōleʻele ma kahi kumu, a hiki i 30 knm ka lōʻihi a 3 knm ka laulā.ʻO keʻano o nā wana he wavy ma nāʻaoʻao, he isola me nā polu a hoʻonohoʻia nā lauoho.
ʻO ka puaʻa he'ōmole a iʻole ka'ōmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo, me ke anawaena he 10-12 knm. ʻO ka'ōmaʻa liʻiliʻi i uhiʻia me nā'eahi likeʻole. He meaʻalaʻala a puala i ka lā, kahi mea maʻamau no nā epiphyllumsʻanoʻole.
Ma keʻano, aia nāʻano'āpana'ōpiphyllum e like me keʻano o ka pua. Hoʻopiliʻia kāna mau pali kūleʻa a ua uhiʻia ka'ōpiho me nā mea liʻiliʻiʻuʻuku a me nā'āpana.
ʻO kekahi hui o nāʻano i kapaʻiaʻo Cooper's epiphyllum (Epiphyllum cooperi), iʻikeʻia e nā pua o ka pō, ua hanaʻia hoʻi ma luna o ka epiphyhyum.
ʻO Epiphyllum Laui
ʻO ka'ōmole he mau liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi o ka lōʻihi o ka lōʻihi e lōʻihi ai he 50 knm, ke ākea 5-7 cm, a me nā wēlau lima 1-2 cm ke anawaena, i hōʻikeʻia e ka ulu wikiwiki. ʻO kaʻokoʻa o nā aʻa e like me keʻano likeʻole, a ma nāʻaoʻao o kahi haʻahaʻa liʻiliʻi. I loko o ka isola, he mau'ōmaʻomaʻu'ōmaʻomaʻu-ʻulaʻula keʻokeʻo 3-5 mm ka lōʻihi.
Ma ka hilinaʻiʻokoʻa, he ulaʻula nā pua a heʻulaʻula hoʻi-he kōmalena i kaʻili a pua i ke ahiahi. Keʻano o ka pua i keʻano o keʻano o ke kinipuni me ka lōʻihi o 12-16 cm. Ma hope o ka pollination, eʻikeʻia nā hua o kaʻoki likeʻole me ka lōʻihi o 4-8 cm i kaʻulaʻula. Ma keʻano, ulu ia ma Mekikoka ma nā pōhaku a ma ke kūkokoʻole aʻaʻole i hua i nāʻanoʻano likeʻole.
Keʻike neiʻoe? Hiki keʻano'ē keʻano o nā pua a Epiphyllum, akā,ʻaʻole i kahi o nāʻuli uliuli. Ma muli o ka nani o kā lākou pua, ua kapaʻia ka epiphyllum ka cactus-orchid.
ʻO Epiphyllum Paul de Lonpre
ʻO ke kaʻeʻana o ka epiphyllum, ke ākea a me ke selenitserius, ua alakaʻiʻia i ka hanaʻana i nāʻanoʻanoʻano palahalaha, ke kino, nā wili lōʻihi o nā lauʻeleʻele keʻokeʻo ma ka palena. Ua noi lākou i keʻano o ka pua mai ka selenitserius: he mau momona liʻiliʻi o kaʻupena'opihima ka laulā o loko. 
ʻO Epifillum Paul de Lonpre kahi iʻikeʻia e nā wīwī nui e kulou ana i lalo i ka honua, a nui nā pua nui i 14 cm ke anawaena. Huluʻia nā pua me nā paliʻulaʻulaʻulaʻula. ʻO keʻano o nā aʻa a me ka lau o ka pua,ʻo kēia piliki i loaʻa mai ka epiphyllum a puni.
He mea nui! ʻO ka epiphyllum he'ōnaehana liʻiliʻi, no laila e liʻiliʻi ka ipu i ka nui. Pono pono ke kanu i nā'ōpiopio'ōpio i hoʻokahi manawa i ka makahiki, aʻoi iki keʻano o kaʻoihana.
ʻO Epiphyllum Kawai Pru
ʻO EpiphyllumʻO Pru wale nō ia i kanuʻia i loko o ka hale hānai Halligate. Hoʻomaka ka manawa ulu i ka puna. He māmā nā pua i waenakonu a me kaʻeleʻele uliuli ma nāʻaoʻao, me ke anawaena o 12-16 cm. E hoʻopau waleʻia ma kaʻokiʻana. 
Keʻike neiʻoe? Hoʻopiliʻia nā'ōpū a me nā hua o ka epiphyllum i ka mālamaʻana i ka'ōpū o ka maʻihe, ka maʻi o ka maʻi, ka maʻi neurological, nā makaleho, nā anu anu, nā hono, psoriasis.
Ma ka nānāʻana i keʻano o ka epiphyllum, hiki i nā mea a pau ke koho i kahi lāʻau i konaʻono. Ua hoʻohuiʻia ka pono o ka cactus, ka nani o nā pua nani a me nā mea ho'ōla e hoʻohanaʻia e Aztecs i ka wā kahiko.
