About the plant:
Epiphyllum Anguliger, which belongs to the fat family, is also known under the names of fishbone cactus (fishbone cactus - its leaves resemble it) or zig zag cactus (zig zag cactus). However, you can also find it under the nice Czech name Opičí ocásek. This species is commonly grown for its fragrant flowers. They are white or yellow, they bloom especially at night from autumn to winter and they stand out with a strong sweet smell.

This species is endemic and comes from Central America, more precisely southern Mexico. Its stems are 20 to 30 cm long (may be longer), 3 to 5 cm thick, with rounded ends. We can also grow it, for example, in hanging flower pots so that the stems flow down and stand out.

Every plant is different, just like us humans. Please allow for a possible deviation in appearance compared to the product photo.

Light

It likes bright places, but without direct rays of the sun, which could burn the cactus. It grows very quickly in a bright place, but it can also handle partial shade.

Watering

Although it is a succulent, it requires regular watering and is prone to drying out. We water it only after the top layer of the substrate has dried, the moisture of which we check with a finger. It is best to pour the water into a saucer.

Humidity

It tolerates dry air and does not require dew.

Propagation

They are propagated by top cuttings, which are placed on the substrate and allowed to take root. Only later will we transplant them into a flower pot.

Common problems

Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing or leaf drop.
Leaves shrivel: The plant needs watering. Breaking, leaf fall:
We have to be careful, Epiphyllum Anguliger is very fragile.

How does DMP delivery work?

All plants and some accessories on our e-shop are sent directly from the grower in Holland.
