Can anyone identify this plant that grows leaves from its leaf?

Question

This plant has been growing in my garden (south India) for a while. Would like to know its name so that I can take better care of it. Thanks!

It looks like a younger version of this plant https://gardening.stackexchange.com/questions/30935/what-is-this-huge-succulent-plant — Alina, Mar 12 '17 at 10:02
Epiphyllum...but thinned because of low light? What is that tourniquet doing on the lower stem in the picture? — stormy, Mar 12 '17 at 19:56
Alina thanks for that. Looks like it's a Night Blooming Cereus. @stormy that's just to hold the plant upright after repotting. — Yeti, Mar 13 '17 at 05:49
I feel better but that needs to come off soon or even better get a little stick with a Y at the end to prop up that branch. Move the stick up and down every now and then. You want it to hold itself up and a brace like this will only make that branch weaker. No biggie. These plants like to 'fountain' over the sides of pots anyway. — stormy, Mar 13 '17 at 18:17

It's a Night Blooming Cereus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum).

This is definitely some kind of Cacti plant.

I would say it's from the Schlumbergera group.

It's quite easy to multiply by just cutting one of the healthy leaves and putting it in light humus in another pot.

Good info, but now I'm pretty sure it's Night Blooming Cereus. Thanks @Alina for the hint. – Yeti Mar 13 '17 at 05:53
