Epiphyllum anguliger
Fishbone Cactus - Moon Cactus - Queen of the Night - Rick-Rack Orchid Cactus
Description
Epiphyllum anguliger, often called the Fishbone Cactus or Zig Zag Cactus, is a unique and attractive epiphytic cactus known for its distinctive foliage. Unlike most cacti, this plant does not have spines. Instead, it features flat, segmented stems with deeply lobed edges that resemble fishbones or zig-zag patterns. The leaves are bright green, providing an interesting texture and visual appeal. The plant produces beautiful, fragrant flowers, usually white or cream-colored. This is an easy plant to grow. It prefers bright, indirect light and needs the soil to dry out between waterings. Use a well-draining potting mix and mist the plant to add humidity.
