Epiphyllum anguliger
Fishbone Cactus
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
Epiphyllum anguliger, commonly known as the Fishbone Cactus, is a striking trailing plant loved for its distinctive zig-zag foliage. Its long, flattened stems feature deeply undulating edges that create a sculptural, almost architectural look, making it a standout choice for shelves or hanging planters.
Native to the forests of Mexico, this epiphytic cactus naturally grows in dappled light beneath the canopy, which makes it well suited to indoor environments. As it matures, stems will cascade gracefully, adding movement and texture to your space.
Please note: you may notice a clean cut at the base of some stems. This is a normal part of the growing process, where growers prune Epiphyllum to encourage branching and create fuller, more balanced plants over time.
Care & styling tips
Place in bright, indirect light or partial shade. Water when the top inch of compost has dried, keeping the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Avoid letting it dry out completely. Enjoys higher humidity, so occasional misting is beneficial. Feed monthly during the growing season with a cactus or houseplant fertiliser.
