A really stunning, ornamental cactus with funky foliage and glorious flowers. The leaves have beautifully wavy margins that oscillate along the stem and give rise to its common names: Fishbone Cactus or Zig Zag Cactus. Flowers, when produced, are creamy white, with long lemon yellow to orange-brown outer petals and are heavily scented. Other names include Moon Cactus and Rick-Rack (or Ric-Rac) Cactus. Epiphyllum anguliger looks best displayed as a hanging plant.
Please note: plants are not always provided in hanging planters.
Horty Hints
Let’s get steamy! The Epiphylum anguliger requires high humidity so pop it in the bathroom to soak up that steam.
Stop the rot! Allow your cactus’ soil to completely dry-out between waterings as excess water can lead to root rot.
Hot-to-trot! The Fishbone Cactus prefers to be kept in a warm environment, ideally no lower than 16°C, but is hardy enough to survive short periods of lower temperature.
