Description
The Ric Rac cactus is native to southern Mexico and produces beautiful nocturnal flowers. However, the real eye-catcher with this plant is the stems, which are shaped like zig-zags or fishbones and look like leaves. Yes, the best part of this plant is the stems!
Grow Ric Rac cactus in a bright spot, but protected from too much direct sun. If you grow this plant in a sunny south window, put up a sheer curtain to diffuse the light and help match the rain forest conditions this plant is used to.
Like many cacti, Ric Rac cactus can go long periods without water but grows best if you water when the top inch or so of the soil dries out. They don’t tolerate drought the same way their desert-dwelling cousins do. That said, take care not to overwater Ric Rac cactus; it will rot if the soil stays moist or wet for extended periods of time.
