Epiphyllum anguliger
Epiphyllum anguliger (also known as the Fishbone Cactus or Zigzag Cactus) is an epiphytic cactus native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. It is a member of the Cactaceae family and is appreciated for its unique, zigzag-patterned stems and striking flowers.
Key Characteristics:
- Growth Form: It features flattened, green stems with a distinctive zigzag pattern, making it an attractive plant for hanging baskets or elevated planters.
- Flowers: The plant produces large, fragrant flowers that are typically white or pink, with long, narrow petals that bloom in late summer or early autumn. The flowers usually open in the evening and last for just one night.
- Habitat: Native to humid, subtropical forests, it thrives in well-draining soil and partial shade, making it ideal for indoor environments with proper humidity.
Care Tips:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the plant.
- Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. In winter, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant period.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures and should be kept in environments between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F). It does not tolerate frost.
- Humidity: As an epiphyte, it thrives in high humidity. Occasional misting or a humidity tray can help maintain the moisture levels it prefers.
