Product Highlights

The Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) is a forest cactus, which means it likes soft, bright light and soil that is a little more moist than a desert cactus would need. Its arching, zigzag stems are thick, flat and glossy green, and they spill over the edge of a pot as the plant grows, giving it a trailing, sculptural look. It does well in bright indirect light and in partial shade, and it prefers a loose, well-draining mix. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry, and avoid leaving it in standing water. It arrives in a 4 inch pot at about 8 inches tall, and it looks even better when moved to a hanging basket as it grows.
