I have had one of these since about 1960, when I brought one back from Singapore as a teenager. They are very easy to propagate from cuttings, and seem to be almost indestructible. I grow mine in normal potting compost both on the window sill in the house and in the conservatory. Water sparingly during the winter and every week or so in the summer. Very occasionally I feed mine with tomato fertilizer. I have never tried one outside, but I am sure they would not stand low temperatures.
Ideally, I think they would like a humid environment, but they seem to be able to withstand most conditions and even neglect.
I live in the UK.

How long before planting an Epiphyllum cutting will it bloom?
We were given a leaf, planted it in compost with rooting powder, kept it in the conservatory, first flowers appeared in the fourth year. We have done the same many times since, we once got one to flower in the third year. Put it in a big pot, don't get it rootbound, keep moist, tomato food once a month, that's it. Some Epiphyllum hybrids or species can take 2 to 4 years. Some general requirments are needed heres a list of them http://www.mattslandscape.com/advanced_growers/ you need to use bloom fertilizer high in the second and third numbers. from Mattslandscape.com the #1 jungle cacti source!
