Epiphyllum Anguliger, Fishbone Cactus in Hanging Pot
The Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) is an extraordinary cactus native to the rainforests of Mexico. Its distinctive long, flat stems resemble a fishbone, which inspired its name. Initially growing upright, the stems eventually trail down as they lengthen. As an epiphytic plant, the Fishbone Cactus develops aerial roots, similar to its natural environment where it would attach to a host plant. This ornamental cactus boasts fascinating foliage with beautifully wavy margins that undulate along the stem, hence its alternate names: Fishbone Cactus or Zig Zag Cactus.
When the Fishbone Cactus blooms, it produces stunning flowers. The creamy white blossoms feature long outer petals in shades of lemon yellow to orange-brown and emit a captivating fragrance. Other common names for this cactus include Moon Cactus and Rick-Rack (or Ric-Rac) Cactus. To showcase its unique beauty, the Fishbone Cactus is best displayed as a hanging plant, allowing its trailing stems to be admired.
