Fishbone Cactus Live Plant – 2.5 Inch Pot | Disocactus anguliger | Zig Zag Orchid Cactus | Trailing Indoor Houseplant

Add an unusual tropical cactus to your houseplant collection with this live Fishbone Cactus, known for its distinctive flattened stems with deep zigzag edges. Also called Zig Zag Cactus or Ric Rac Cactus, this epiphytic cactus develops long, trailing stems that look especially attractive cascading from shelves and hanging planters.

Unlike desert cacti, Fishbone Cactus naturally grows in tropical forest environments and appreciates bright filtered light, an airy growing mix, and somewhat more consistent moisture. Mature plants can produce large, fragrant flowers under suitable conditions, although young starter plants require time to reach flowering maturity.

✔️ 1 live Fishbone Cactus plant
✔️ Approximately 2–2.5 inch nursery pot
