Hi Bett
According to our RHS dictionary it is a cactus called 'Queen of the Night'
Minimum 10\15C is an epiphyte, PH must be below 6, Shade all summer, high
humidity. I am sure someone else will know from first hand better than I,
but I feel compelled to ask because from your description it sound
unbelievably awful. 'corky\bleached looking' What made you buy or acquire it
I am fascinated to know. Should I seek one?
