Fishbone Cactus
Epiphyllum Anguliger
1The Fishbone Cactus received this name because of its long, green, flat wavy stems. The stems start growing upright only to trail down as they get older. Given that extra bit of attention, it may even flower in late summer.
The Fishbone cactus is easy to look after and requires little attention. Keep it in bright indirect light and let it dry out in between watering.
To propagate, try cutting one of my stems off close to the soil and pop it in some water until roots form.
