CARE + MAINTENANCE

Bright indirect light, some direct sun is OK, but diffuse is better. 65-80°F.
Water requirements
Allow soil to become dry in between watering, but not as long as you would let desert cacti stay dry.
Toxicity
Toxic to pets. Please contact your veterinarian if you suspect your pet has ingested this plant.
Care tips
Your cactus will grow long, cascading fishbone vines. These beautiful vines will grow rapidly in the warmer months, and slower in the wintertime. Cut back on watering your cactus during the winter when weather tends to be cooler and the soil dries out at a slower rate. Fertilize once or twice yearly, in early springtime and in early summer.
Common issues
Over-watering can cause your zig zag cactus to become soggy, while under-watering can cause your cactus to shrivel and dry out. We encourage you to strike a nice balance, watering your cactus every 10 days or so. Keep in mind, your zig zag is a tropical cactus, not the desert variety.
