What is epiphyllum anguliger?

Epiphyllum anguliger, also known as the fishbone cactus or zig-zag cactus, is a species of epiphytic cactus native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. This unique cactus is characterized by its long, flat, and succulent stems that have distinct zig-zag patterns resembling the bones of a fish.

Epiphyllum anguliger is a popular houseplant due to its interesting growth habit and delicate, fragrant flowers that bloom at night. The flowers are typically white or pink in color and open for only one night before wilting.

This cactus prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil, similar to other epiphytic cactus species. It is important to water Epiphyllum anguliger regularly during the growing season but allow the soil to dry out between waterings in the winter to prevent root rot.

Overall, Epiphyllum anguliger is a unique and visually interesting cactus that can make a striking addition to any indoor plant collection.
