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

Good To Know

Bright, Indirect Light

Loves being in the spotlight. Thrives on attention. Just not direct sunlight, that’s where it draws the line. We’re glowing, not grilling.

How not to kill your Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger)

We've created a personalised Grow Guide for your Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger). Just follow this easy guide and you & your new leafy mate will be loving life together!

Light: Indirect

Choose a bright position with filtered or indirect light. Protect from harsh direct summer sun. Only use lower light where the individual plant’s care profile says it is tolerated.

Watering: Moderate

Check the compost before watering. Water when the upper layer begins to dry, then let excess water drain away. Adjust to the plant, pot, light and season.

Humidity: High

Keep away from drying radiators. Where this plant benefits from higher humidity, use a humidifier or suitable room conditions with ventilation. Routine misting is not a substitute for lasting humidity.

Memento Top Tip

This is a forest cactus: filtered light and regular moisture suit it better than a hot, bone-dry windowsill.
