Ric Rac Cactus

The Ric Rac Cactus (Epiphyllum anguliger), also known as the Fishbone Cactus, is a stunning houseplant with a unique, wavy leaf structure that resembles a zigzag or ric rac pattern. Native to the rainforests of Mexico, this cactus is an epiphytic plant, meaning it naturally grows on trees, making it well-suited for hanging planters or elevated spaces. Its green, deeply lobed, serrated stems are not only visually striking but also soft to the touch, adding texture and interest to any indoor garden. Given the right conditions, the Ric Rac Cactus may even reward you with beautiful, fragrant blooms.

Indoors, the Ric Rac Cactus can grow up to 12-18 inches tall, with its trailing stems adding a dramatic touch to any room. Its low-maintenance nature makes it a favorite among plant enthusiasts.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but for optimal growth, place it near a well-lit window.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. While it is more drought-tolerant than other houseplants, avoid letting the soil dry out completely for extended periods.
• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix, ideally with added perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F-80°F. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity but can adapt to lower humidity levels. It can be placed in a bathroom or kitchen for increased humidity.

PET FRIENDLY: NON-toxic to dogs and cats according to the ASPCA
