Ric Rak Cactus 'Epiphyllum Anguliger'
The Ric Rac cactus is an unusual and eccentric shaped succulent plant! It has rigid, bright green, flat fronts that zig zag in alternating lobes from a center vein. The chevron pattern shape gives it many nicknames including a Zig Zag and Fishbone cactus. Originating in Mexican rainforests, this plant is typically seen trailing, but can develop aerial roots and will climb if given a sturdy structure.
>>FUN FACT: Blooming is very rare with this plant and even harder to witness! This succulent is sometimes called an orchid cactus
because of the large, multi-petaled flower which only opens at night and will wither and fade by dawn.
