The common name of this plant refers to the pattern of the grooves of the leaves, which closely resembles the skeleton of a dead fish. When matured, this plant's leaves grow in an arch over the pot and is extremely resilient as it retains a lot of water (it is considered a cactus)!
Fishbone Cactus Care:
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Unlike many desert cacti, Zig Zag Cactus naturally prefers some protection from intense direct sun.
Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.
Soil: Loose, well-draining soil. You could use cactus/succulent soil!
