Epiphyllum anguliger, commonly known as the Fishbone Cactus or Zig Zag Cactus, is a striking and unusual houseplant that never fails to draw attention. Supplied in a 12 cm pot, it features long, flattened stems with deeply notched, wavy edges that resemble the bones of a fish—hence its popular name. With its curious shape and cascading habit, it makes a bold statement in hanging baskets or displayed on a high shelf where its stems can elegantly trail. Native to the tropical forests of Mexico, Epiphyllum anguliger is an epiphytic cactus, which means it naturally grows in tree branches rather than in the ground. It prefers bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions, making it ideal for indoor environments. Unlike desert cacti, it enjoys slightly more moisture, so it should be watered when the top layer of soil begins to feel dry, without allowing it to become waterlogged. A peat-free, well-draining mix suited to epiphytes or orchids is best, and occasional feeding during the growing season will support its health and flowering potential. With the right care, this plant may reward its owner with large, fragrant, night-blooming flowers—an added delight for those patient enough to wait. Its dramatic form, ease of care, and exotic appeal make Epiphyllum anguliger a standout addition to any houseplant range, ideal for garden centres and shops looking to offer unique and conversation-starting specimens.
