Epiphyllum Anguliger, also known as the 'fishbone (saw blade) cactus', is a special and eye-catching plant that should definitely not be missing from your collection. The flat, zigzag-shaped leaves resemble a fishbone and give this plant a unique look. The Epiphyllum is a succulent often sold as a hanging plant. It is native to Mexico and parts of the Americas and the Caribbean. The large, funnel-shaped flowers this plant can get complete the picture. This epiphytic plant grows naturally on other plants or trees and therefore does not need much direct sunlight. Epiphyllum Anguliger thrives best in lightly shaded environments and needs well-drained soil, such as cactus soil. Do not overwater the plant and make sure that the soil is allowed to dry out completely between waterings. The plant thrives well at temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius.

Care
In nature, the Epiphyllum Anguliger is found in subtropical forests in Mexico. Because of this, this saw cactus does want a little more water than an ordinary cactus and can stand a little longer in wet soil. In summer, water the plant once every two weeks, in winter this may be even less. Let the soil dry out well before watering again. When the Epiphyllum stands in wet soil, the roots can rot.

Size
The plants have a height of 30-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 15cm.
