Selenicereus - Zig Zag, Rick Rac Cactus or Fishbone Cactus in terra cotta
This is for nice full 4" terra cotta pot of the super unique Ric Rac Cactus. Ric rac cactus is one of the most exotic -- and easy -- cactus houseplants you grow! It shows off distinctive foliage -- the stems are serrated and lobed, like a backbone and have a thick, leathery texture that perfectly suits their dark green color. If it gets enough light, ric rac cactus will reward you with stunning pink and white orchid-like flowers.
A trailing houseplant, ric rac cactus grows best in hanging baskets. In nature, it cascades dramatically from tree branches in tropical rain forests and is known as an epiphyte.
Grow ric rac cactus in a bright spot, but protected from too much direct sun. If you grow this plant in sunny south window, put up a sheer curtain to diffuse the light and help match the rain forest conditions this plant is used to.
Like many cacti, ric rac cactus can go long periods without water, but grows best if you water when the top couple inches or so of the soil dries out. They don't tolerate extreme drought the same way their desert-dwelling cousins do. That said, take care not to overwater ric rac cactus; it will rot if the soil stays moist or wet for extended periods of time.
Because it comes from tropical rain forests, ric rac cactus likes more humidity than the average cactus. It grows just fine in average household humidity conditions.
