I keep my spider in the bathroom and it’s doing amazing. Got loads of babies plant on it and it flowered last year

Monstera I find is quite easy to look after. I’ve got mine a few feet away from the window and it’s doing great. Looks healthy and the leaves are shiny. Always growing new bits

awesome! thanks for the advice

That’s ok I love my plants so don’t mind helping others

I think the cactus might be an orchid cactus

#### Jordy Woo replied on 2026-01-13

i was thinking that too based off of pictures online, but wasn’t sure

I agree. Also known as a ric-rac cactus, zig-zag cactus, or fishbone cactus. Epiphyllum Anguliger. It looks like yours might be a cutting.  
I think they look like a cartoon drawing plant. Here’s mine:
