A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Help identify strange houseplant-possbly succulent

I was given this plant and I have had it for 5 years now. I have no idea what it is and was hoping someone here might help identify it. Possibly a type of succulent? Would appreciate any help! Thank you,

Welcome, runnin. Look up a cereus or night blooming cerius. You have a lovely specimen.

That is it!! Thank you so much! :)

Beautiful climber.......wish i had one ......lol

OMG!!!!!!!! I have one of these. But, it isn't growing much nor flowering. What do you do to make it grow and bloom so much?

The blooms are so beautifull but, they only last one day.

I have a snail speed dial-up connection so didn't get to see the whole picture (after 10 min.) but from the little I did see, I would hazard a guess that it is an "ORCHID CATUS"
THEY TAKE A WHILE TO BLOOM BUT WHEN THEY DO, IT WILL BE WELL WORTH THE WAIT.
I have 5 of thembut only 2 have bloomed so far. - 1 red, 1 pink. I'm not sure what colour the others will be. I was told one was white, the other mauve. Only time will tell

Hope this helps
