Lost my name info on these
I know I've asked this question here before but can't find the answers
What are these plants' names, please?
The first three pics are of one plant, the next two pics are of another and the last pic is of a new plant cutting my friend Linda recently gave to me
Thanks

I'm fairly certain that the cutting from Linda is a Hoya kerrii. it's the only plant I can think of with heart like shaped leaves My city's botanical garden has a magnificent one in their succulent greenhouse. The blooms are absolutely amazing!

Hi, Susanne!
First, let me say that I'm envious of that first plant!! It's so cool! I've been wanting one for a while.
The first and second plant are two different types of epiphyllums. I can't help with the third, sorry
The second is an epiphyllum 'orchid cactus', the blooms of which are beautiful! They come in quite a few different color variations. My mother in law gave me a cutting three years ago...I think it's big enough to flower this summer...I hope!!! Hers bloomed last summer - 6 in wide red blooms...it was just outstanding!
Here are some links to the first and second on logees.com. Hope this helps and good luck - they seem very happy in your care!
first plant - Logee's Greenhouse-Epiphyllum anguliger
second plant - Logee's Greenhouse-Epiphyllum anguliger

By the way, I'm not implying that yours is 'Blue Paradis' - that's just an example. Of course we would need a flower to figure out what it's name is - just like naming a NOID orchid!
Ok, I'm done now. LOL

as Camille already said, the third one is Hoya kerrii
first plant Epiphyllum anguliger
the second plant, not sure whether Epiphyllum... I tend to think more of Hylocereus sp.

Ramon may be right about the second one. It's hard to tell from your pictures. If you do a google search on Hylocereus sp you can get lots of pictures - apparently it's aka. "The dragon fruit", which I found interesting. The leaves on an epiphyllum are mostly flat whereas it looks like the leaves on a Hylocereus are mostly triangular.

I just found out something interesting about the Hoya. Apparently leaf cuttings will root, but take years, if ever, to produce growths. The cuttings that do grow are the ones that have a piece of stem with the leaves. It seems to be the case for yours, but it's hard to tell from the pics!

Thanks for the info, Camille
The cutting I have here does have a nice piece of stem and a few decent roots growing along the sides
I don't care how long it takes to grow up...it's happy here with the others
