Epiphyllum are epiphytic cacti as their name suggests. Some call them orchid cactus due to their large bright blooms and growth habit. Epiphytic plants grow on other plants, not in a parasitic fashion but as hosts. They are not cold hardy and generally can be found only as houseplants or greenhouse specimens.

Dragon Fruit Yellow Cross 68 is a hybrid variety that comes from Selenicereus megalanthus (also known as Yellow Dragon) and an unknown Hylocereus species. The fruit is oval with small green fins on red skin along with a deep red flesh. The average weight of the fruit is between 8 and 12 ounces. The fruit had a mild tartness with a slightly earthy aftertaste. The fruits tested with a Brix rating of 15 and 16. Flower bud to flower was 21 days, and flower to fruit was an additional 21 days. We fell if the fruit was on the vine longer the Brix rating could have been a little higher. The flowers of Yellow Cross 68 are night-blooming that have white petals and deep red and yellow calyx (outer peddles). The flower resembles the Yellow Dragon. The stems also resemble Yellow Dragon whoever they are thicker. This growth is three-sided with large sized thorns. Mature stems tend to get a thin waxy coating that will allow this variety to tolerate heat and cold better than Yellow Dragon.
