5154 Cryptocereus (Selenicereus) anthonyanus - Zig-Zag Cactus

Vine or creeper Semi-shade Epiphyte Moderate water Pink flowers White/off-white flowers Ornamental foliage Red/crimson/vinous flowers Fragrant Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

Anthony's Rick-Rack, Zig-Zag Cactus, Fishbone Orchid Cactus. It is nightblooming and its flowers last only a single night in spring. Because the flowers are so quickly spent, this epiphyte is mainly only grown for the strange leaves which lend it the common name Ric-Rac Cactus, or occasionally Zig-Zag or Fishbone Cactus. It can be grown either in orchid substrate, or in regular cactus potting soil with a bit of humus added. 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.

What is grafted plant

Q: What is a grafted plant?

Grafting is a method of vegetative (or asexual) propagation where a piece of one plant (scion) selected for its flowers or fruit and containing the desired genes to be duplicated is inserted into a piece of another plant (rootstock), with a strong vigorous root system, usually a seedling.

Benefits of the graft:

making a clone of the parent plant ensures the same cultivar, since most fruit trees will not come true to seed
taking a scion from a mature plant reduces time to flowering and fruiting (from 10-12 years for a seedling to 2-3 years or less for a grafted plant)
introducing dwarfing, hardiness, disease and pest resistance.
easier propagation method when other means like cutting or seed is not successful

Can be used for bonsai Large shrub 5-10 ft Small tree 10-20 ft Full sun Semi-shade Regular water Moderate water White/off-white flowers Fragrant Edible Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time
