The Fish Bone Cactus originates in Mexico, where tropical rainforests make a moist and humid environment. It's also known are a Rick-Rack Cactus or Orchid Cactus.
It is a cousin of orchids, and rarely will have a soft pink bloom that only blooms at night and lasts for only one day.
If you're lucky enough to get it to bloom, it will be in late Autumn - early winter.
The fish bone can grow leaves as long as 8’-12’. It is a fairly fast growing plant and an easy keeper.
Care
Watching your plants and learning their signs is one of the best parts about owning and being a plant parent! Keep these watering tips in mind.
- Water approximately every two weeks. When the fishbone leaves are plump and full, you'll know you've watered correctly.
- If your soil is dry, the fishbone leaves will be flat or wrinkling - it needs a drink!
