Ric Rac Cactus

The Ric Rac Orchid Cactus (Disocactus anguliger) doesn’t bear leaves but stems. Off these stems, orchid-like fragrant flowers bloom after the third year of growth. Their unique zig-zag stem form hangs beautifully from a basket. In the wild, this epiphyte will attach to tree branches near the top of the tree and arch downward. You may even recognize their small aerial roots on the underside of the stem when it’s in higher humidity. This low-maintenance plant can grow 2-3 feet tall and wide.
