I have two questions about this plant, first: I was given a leaf cutting of this plant about 3 years ago and was told it is a night blooming cereus. So...is it?? I know this is the wrong are to ask this question but it also has a "cold", which leads me into question number 2: on the uderside of a couple of the leaves there are blackish/brownish spots that are somewhat "indented". It also looks like something munched on the end of a leaf. Hopefully, someone can help with the pictures I've provided...
