Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger) – Zig-zag Trailing Cactus | 14cm Hanging Pot

The Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger), also known as the Ric Rac Cactus, is a distinctive trailing houseplant admired for its dramatic zig-zag, serrated stems. Supplied in a 14cm hanging pot, this sculptural cactus adds texture and movement to shelves, plant stands and hanging displays.

Unlike desert cacti, this epiphytic species naturally grows in tree canopies, making it well suited to indoor environments. Over time, it develops long cascading stems and may produce fragrant night-blooming flowers when mature.

Its architectural form makes it a standout addition to modern plant collections.
