Disocactus anguliger is a fishbone cactus with long flattened stems cut into deep, alternating lobes that give each section a zigzag outline. New growth starts narrow and flexible, then lengthens into arching green ribbons that can spill from a hanging pot or soften the edge of a shelf. Mature, settled plants may produce pale, fragrant cactus flowers, though the patterned stems are the main feature through most of the year. Bright filtered light, warm indoor conditions and an open epiphytic mix match its root habit as the plant builds a relaxed, layered shape.
