Description

Epiphyllum anguliger, also known as the Fishbone Cactus or Zigzag Cactus, is a unique and visually striking plant that is native to Mexico. This cactus gets its name from its long, flat, wavy stems that resemble fishbones or a zigzag pattern. The stems can grow up to several feet long, with notches along the edges that produce small, delicate leaves. The plant blooms in the summer months, producing fragrant, white flowers that open at night and close during the day. The Fishbone Cactus is a relatively easy plant to care for, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, and should be watered sparingly during the growing season. During the dormant season, it requires less water and can even tolerate a period of dryness. The plant can be propagated easily through stem cuttings, making it a great option for those who want to share their love of plants with others. Its unique appearance and easy care make it a wonderful addition to any plant collection.
