Slugs! You must keep them away from your epiphyllums. They often eat the areoles on the stems (the little notches along the sides), resulting in stunted growth and/or no flowers because it is from those areas that the plant will produce its new growth. Even tiny nips at these strategic points--often so small you wouldn't notice them--can result in a lack of blooms. There are other pests that will occasionally bother your epis, but slugs are the worst offenders.
