Description

⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘ This terrarium contains Disocactus anguliger, also known as the fishbone cactus or zig zag cactus. This terrarium also contains a fallen branch from an unidentified tree. I photographed the fishbone cactus at the home of a friend in London, England, during the summer. ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘ About Disocactus anguliger: Disocactus anguliger (syn. Epiphyllum anguliger), commonly known as the fishbone cactus or zig zag cactus, is a cactus species native to Mexico. The species is commonly grown as an ornamental for its fragrant flowers in the fall. This epiphytic cactus has smooth green skin and extensively branched stems. The primary stems are often woody. Secondary stems are flat and succulent, 20–30 cm long, 3–5 cm wide, and deeply lobed. The lobes are rectangular or slightly rounded. The white or pale yellow flowers bloom nocturnally, exuding a strong, sweet scent; they are 6–20 cm long and 6–7 cm wide. The fruit, 3–4 cm long and 2 cm in diameter, are ovoid and brownish, greenish or yellowish. The interior of the tasty fruit is reminiscent of kiwifruit, with green pulp and small black seeds. The species is endemic to Mexico, occurring as an epiphyte in evergreen forests in Oaxaca, Guerrero, Jalisco, and Michoacán and/or Nayarit. It can be found at elevations between 1,100 and 1,800 m. This plant was first distributed in Europe by the Horticultural Society of London which obtained it from the collector T. Hartweg in 1846. ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘ ⚘ Animated .GIF ⚘ 180 Frames ⚘ 1080 x 1080 px ⚘ 128 colors ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘ - @rodellwarner
