Hi junglegoin,
Just a note on the Entry Page that your photo is listed under. "Night Blooming Cereus - Cereus"
The nickname "Epi" comes from the genus "Epiphyllum", so that would put this plant under the "Epiphyllum" genus and not the "Cereus" genus. (although there may have been some of the Epiphyllum species that were at one time in past considered to be a 'Cereus', they have now been classified as Epiphyllums)
There are also *dozens* of Ceroid type of species of cacti that bloom at night.
(I know...the 'Night Blooming Cereus' name is just a generic term and can be misleading)
You will probably find the appropriate entry page for your plant photo in this search link:

This has been corrected.

Love your nightbloomer! We have three pots in various years of growth. One does produce blossoms, but hasn't yet this year.

I love your night blooming cereus. The bloom is beautiful!!!
Mine...was doing just great. I moved it to a new spot because it was getting so big and now it is getting big black spots on the leaves. I don't know if it does not like the new spot or if that was just a coincidence that it happened about a week after I moved it. I have it in a container. I did not change the container when I moved it.
