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.
