Add a splash of jungle-inspired personality to your plant collection with the Fishbone Cactus, also known as the Ric Rac Cactus. Selenicereus anthonyanus features long, flat stems with dramatic zigzag edges that resemble a fish skeleton or ric rac ribbon.
This tropical cactus looks especially striking in a hanging basket, where its sculptural stems can trail freely. Unlike desert cacti, it prefers bright, indirect light, a well-draining soil mix, and watering when the top portion of the soil has dried. With maturity and the right conditions, it may produce large, fragrant flowers that open at night.
Each plant is naturally unique, so size, shape, and fullness may vary.
