The Epiphyllum anguliger or Fishbone cactus is one of my favorite plants. It makes me happy just looking at it.
The fishbone cactus forms long flat and succulent stems resembling a fishbone. Hence the name. It’s also sometimes called ricrac orchid cactus. Ricrac ribbon has that same sort of shape.
Fishbone cacti are easy to care for and very low maintenance. So if you tend to always kill your plants, give this one a try. It might even show off some flowers if the conditions are right.
The stem leaves of the fishbone cactus start out growing upright, but as they grow and get longer, they start to trail down. Making the fishbone cactus a great choice as a hanging plant, or displayed on a plant pedestal table.
How to Prune and Propagate a Fishbone Cactus
The fishbone cactus just naturally has a wild untamed look. This is not to say that you would never want to prune an overly unruly stem. Go for it. Prune your fishbone cactus if you think it needs a cut.
Super long stems can safely be cut back to shorten. New stems will usually grow right from where you cut it. Making your plant grow back fuller.
Another added bonus is that you can easily propagate the cut-off piece of the stem and turn it into a new plant!
It is best to take stem cuttings in spring to late summer. Look for young growth for the best chance of success.
Once your cutting is in the soil, hold off from watering until you see signs of growth. When it starts to grow it means your cutting has grown roots. If you water before it has roots, your cutting will most likely start to rot. Give it a little mist if you can’t help yourself.
