Fishbone Cactus
Epiphyllum Anguliger
Easy Care
Pet Friendly
You will love its very unique long, green, flat wavy stems!
The Fishbone cactus is easy to look after and requires little attention. Keep it in bright indirect light and let it dry out in between watering. The stems start growing upright only to trail down as they get older. Given that extra bit of attention, it may even flower in late summer.
To propagate, try cutting one of my stems off close to the soil and pop it in some water until roots form.
