The fishbone cactus (selenicereus anthonyanus) is an exotic, vining cactus native to Mexico. It’s known for its long, jointed stems that resemble the bones of a fish. This species is also known as zig-zag cactus or fishbone prayer plant, but we call ours Kate.
Fishbone cacti are easy to care for, and make a great addition to any cactus collection. With its unique shape and vibrant colour, it can really brighten up a room. Here's how to keep yours happy:
Choose a spot with plenty of bright, indirect light
Let the soil fully dry out between watering
Fertilise with cactus feed once a month in spring and summer for extra growth
