Fish bone Cactus – Zigzag Ric Rac Cactus Hanging Plant

Fishbone Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger), also known as Zigzag or Ric Rac Cactus, is a unique and eye-catching plant famous for its distinctive wavy, zigzag-shaped leaves that resemble a fish skeleton. Unlike typical desert cacti, this is an epiphytic cactus that thrives in slightly humid conditions and bright indirect light. It is perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, and indoor décor, where its trailing stems create a beautiful cascading effect. Under the right conditions, it can even produce fragrant night-blooming flowers, adding extra charm. Easy to care for and well-suited to Pakistan’s climate, it’s a great choice for both beginners and collectors.
