Pulp color can be magenta to white and everything in between pink, red, off white etc. many have there own unique texture and flavor.A few are grown for there huge blooms only and are reddish or purple in color.Most like shade at there feet and can grow fine in shade but need full sun at the ends of there stems to bloom/fruit well.They like rich well draining soil.Unlike most Epiphyllums many can be planted in the ground once rooted.
