Hey all! Can anyone identify this? The ID app says it’s a dragon fruit but I feel like that not right. A friend gave me a 3” cutting 2 years ago and she grew into this 2’ 6” thing.

    Maybe a Queen of the Night? Or Fishbone Cactus

      Definitely not a fish bone, I have one and it’s not the same. I’ll look up the queen of the night! Thanks!!

    Looks like an orchid cactus (disocactus ackermannii). Blooms come in several colors including red, pink, and white. This plant needs more light and possibly a repotting. The pot looks a bit small for that size plant. The new growth is thin and spindly when it needs brighter light. Bright indirect light or a grow light is needed. They can eventually live in full sun once acclimated by gradually moving it into full sunlight. 🍀🪴
