Learn More About Fishbone Cactus
Collapsible content
What is the Fishbone Cactus Known For?
The Fishbone Cactus stands out in the plant world for its zigzag, fishbone-like leaves, which give it a distinctive appearance unlike any other houseplant. Its unique foliage, combined with its status as a low-maintenance cactus, makes it a fascinating addition to any indoor plant collection.
What Is the History of the Fishbone Cactus?
Epiphyllum Anguliger, commonly referred to as the Fishbone Cactus, has a rich history tied to the rainforests of Mexico, where it grows as an epiphyte among the trees. Its cultivation outside its native region began due to its intriguing shape and the beauty of its nocturnal flowers, which have captivated gardeners and indoor plant enthusiasts for generations.
Where Does the Fishbone Cactus Originate?
Originating from the lush rainforests of Mexico, the Fishbone Cactus has adapted to life in the canopies, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air and rainfall. This background explains its preference for humid conditions and indirect light, mimicking the dappled sunlight of its natural habitat.
How Do You Care for a Fishbone Cactus?
Caring for a Fishbone Cactus involves mimicking its natural tropical environment. It thrives in bright, indirect light with high humidity and prefers well-draining soil. Watering should be moderate – allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings but maintain a humid atmosphere if possible.
Are Fishbone Cactus Toxic to Pets?
One of the many benefits of the Fishbone Cactus is its non-toxicity to pets. Unlike many cacti and succulents, this plant does not possess harmful toxins, making it a safer choice for households with curious pets who might take a nibble.

Fishbone Cactus ordered with other itemsTerrible delivery partner
Less to do with the plants and more concern with the delivery service. I've taken two full days to sit at home and wait because they keep pushing it back at the end of the day the delivery is due. No customer service from delivery service whatsoever. Spent over 100 pounds just to feel like i'm waiting around with no direction. Houseplant may not be directly responsible for the shipping company but as the company they've chosen to work with affects their user experience, I think they can do better.

Good selection and pricing and quick delivery. Usually very good service. I have had occasional plants that did not survive long after delivery and I think it would be better for them to be acclimatised a bit more before dispatch to the customer

Fishbone Cactus ordered with other itemsExcellent!
I have bought many plants online before from other suppliers this is the best packaging! Each item was carefully wrapped with 3-4 layers of material. Plants arrived in excellent condition. It was like opening Christmas presents! I was excited about the Rescue Me! Orchid box! as I love rescuing orchids and can't wait to see if they will flower for me!

I took a bit of a chance ordering from this company as I hadn't actually heard of them before. I've also had a real hit and miss experience ordering houseplants online in the past. But I couldn't have been happier. They were dispatched and delivered really quickly. They arrived really well packaged. Actually they were by far the best packaged plants I have ever received. The plants themselves were really healthy and came with good information. I also though the price point was really good and they had a good selection of plants. Will definitely be placing another order in the near future

Terrible company, totally deceived with the size of the plants they were sending. Most were close to half the size that I had paid for. Emailed for support and a week later no reply. I have had 4 separate promotional emails since then and one asking for a review, so here you are. Really bad value, can get stuff much healthier and larger for the same money in the supermarket or at a market. Attached a photo if the plant they sent (small one) next to one I already had that was the size that they were supposed to send.
