Hanging - FishBone Cactus

Hanging Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger)

The Fishbone Cactus, also known as the Zig-Zag Cactus or Ric Rac Cactus, is a striking trailing plant with distinctive, wavy, fishbone-like stems. Its cascading growth makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, creating a playful and modern look. It’s also known for producing fragrant, night-blooming flowers under the right conditions.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some morning sunlight but should be protected from harsh afternoon rays.

Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid letting it sit in water, as it prefers well-draining soil.

Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier to mimic its native tropical environment.

Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 18–26°C. Protect it from frost or cold drafts.

Care Tip: Feed with a balanced cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) for healthy growth.

With its unique, architectural stems and easy-care nature, the Hanging Fishbone Cactus is a conversation starter and a must-have for any plant enthusiast looking to add a fun, tropical vibe to their collection.
