Hanging Moonlight Cactus (Selenicereus Anthonyanus)
The Hanging Moonlight Cactus, also known as the Ric Rac or Fishbone Cactus, is a stunning epiphytic cactus native to tropical rainforests. Its long, flat, and deeply notched stems resemble fishbones and create a unique cascading effect, perfect for hanging baskets. During the blooming season, it produces large, fragrant, night-blooming flowers in shades of white or pale pink.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate stems.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Reduce watering in winter but avoid letting the plant dry out completely.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity, mimicking its natural tropical habitat. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier in dry environments.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a mix designed for epiphytic cacti or orchids.
Care Tip: Provide support for its trailing growth or allow it to hang freely for a dramatic display.
The Hanging Moonlight Cactus is perfect for plant enthusiasts seeking an exotic, low-maintenance, and eye-catching addition to their collection.
