The Epiphyllum Anguliger isn't exactly what comes to mind when picturing a cactus. Also known as the Fishbone Cactus for it's unique zig-zag-shaped trailing leaves that resemble (you guessed it) fish bones!
The Zig-Zag Cactus comes from Mexico and loves the sun so keep it in bright, indirect sunlight. If it isn't getting enough sun its leaves will start to get a red tinge. Keep the Fishbone Cactus in warm temperatures between 16-25°C (min 10°C) and avoid draughts. As a succulent, it will store water, so only water it when the soil is dry. If its stems start to wrinkle it's telling you it wants a drink.
Light: Keep in bright indirect sunlight
Water: Allow the soil to dry out between watering
Small: 12cm x 25cm
Hanging: 15cm x 30cm
