PLANT FEATURES

• Distinctive foliage: Flat green stems with dramatic wavy, zigzag edges

• Trailing growth: Mature stems can arch and cascade beautifully over the edge of a pot

• Tropical character: An epiphytic cactus that prefers conditions unlike those of desert cacti

Flowering depends on plant maturity and growing conditions and is not guaranteed. Flower color can vary among related species and hybrids, so the blooms of this particular plant cannot be guaranteed unless its identity is confirmed.

RIC RAC CACTUS CARE GUIDE

Light: Provide bright, indirect light or gentle filtered sunlight. Protect the plant from intense direct afternoon sun, which can scorch or discolor its stems. Gradually adjust it if moving to a brighter location.

Water: Water thoroughly when the upper portion of the potting mix has dried. Allow excess water to drain completely. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet, but do not leave the plant dry for extended periods during active growth. Water less frequently during cooler, darker months.

Soil: Use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic cacti. A blend containing potting mix, orchid bark, and perlite can help provide both drainage and airflow around the roots.

Humidity: Average indoor humidity is often sufficient, but moderate to higher humidity can encourage healthy growth. Good air circulation is important, especially in humid environments.

Temperature: Normal warm household temperatures suit this tropical cactus. Protect it from frost and prolonged cold exposure. Avoid sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer: During active growth in spring and summer, apply a balanced, diluted houseplant or cactus fertilizer according to its label. Avoid overfertilizing, and reduce feeding when growth slows.

Repotting: Use a container with drainage holes. Repot when the plant becomes crowded or the potting mix needs refreshing. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one; being root-bound is not a guarantee of flowering.

Pruning and propagation: Trim overly long or damaged stems with clean tools if needed. Healthy stem cuttings can often be propagated after the cut ends have dried before planting in a suitable, well-draining medium.

A UNIQUE PLANT FOR YOUR HOME

The Ric Rac Cactus looks wonderful in hanging planters, on elevated shelves, or in a bright room with filtered light. Its sculptural stems make it an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy unusual tropical plants.
