Ric Rac Cactus (Selenicereus)
A cactus shaped like a heartbeat. The Ric Rac Cactus (Selenicereus anthonyanus) zigzags flat, spineless stems over the pot edge, part jungle plant, part waveform.
It hangs, it trails, it tolerates being forgotten, and a mature plant can surprise you with huge, fragrant night blooms.
Ric Rac Cactus care
- Light: Bright indirect with a little morning sun.
- Water: More than a desert cactus: water when the top half dries.
- Spot: Hanging pots and high shelves suit the zigzag.
- Pets: Pet-safety classification is awaiting species-specific verification. Keep this plant away from pets that chew foliage.
- Growth: Long rippling stems, faster than most cacti.
Does the Ric Rac Cactus flower?
Yes, and spectacularly. Mature plants open large pink and white blooms overnight, usually in spring after a cool, dry winter rest. Even bloomless, the stems carry the show year round.
