Fishbone Cactus
Epiphyllum Anguliger
A Striking and Playful Addition to Your Space
The Fishbone Cactus (also known as the Zig Zag Cactus or Rick Rack Cactus) is a one-of-a-kind houseplant that instantly adds vibrancy and joy to any environment. Its wavy, flat green stems resemble a fish skeleton, creating a visually dynamic and fun aesthetic. As the plant matures, these stems trail gracefully, making it a fantastic choice for hanging planters, tall furniture, or as a tabletop centerpiece.
Thrives in Bright Light & Minimal Care
Unlike many other succulents, the Fishbone Cactus loves direct bright light and flourishes when placed near windows, on terraces, or in sunlit rooms. Being a succulent, it stores water in its stems, requiring only occasional watering. It’s a low-maintenance plant that thrives even with minimal attention, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced plant owners.
Air-Purifying & Pet-Friendly
Bringing nature indoors has never been easier—this plant not only enhances décor but also helps purify the air. It absorbs toxins and releases oxygen, contributing to a fresher indoor environment. Even better, the Fishbone Cactus is non-toxic, making it a safe choice for homes with pets and children.
Easy to Propagate & Pest-Resistant
Want to share your Fishbone Cactus with friends? Propagation is simple—just place stem cuttings in water or soil, and they will grow into new plants. Additionally, it’s naturally resistant to pests, meaning fewer worries and healthier growth.
