Botanical names: Cryptocereus anthonyanus, Selenicereus anthonyanus
Common names: Anthonys Rick-Rack, Zig-Zag Cactus, Fishbone Orchid Cactus
Family: Cactaceae
Origin: Mexico
Anthonys Rick-Rack. This curious epiphyte is grown for the strange leaves which lend it the common name Ric-Rac Cactus, Zig-Zag or Fishbone Cactus. In the wild it attaches itself to trees, clinging by little aerial root filaments along the zigzagging succulent leaves, but is adaptable to terrestrial habits. It loves strong yet indirect lighting. It does not need a lot of water and should be permitted to dry out entirely between waterings. It is nightblooming and its flowers last only a single night in spring.

The oval yellow-skinned fruit, easily cleaned of soft spines, holds juicy white pulp with a delicate floral sweetness. Although drought-tolerant at rest, the plant benefits from regular watering in hot weather to improve fruit size and flavor. Grow in full sun, in well-drained soil, and protect from frost. Lean more:
