Christmas Cactus

The Christmas Cactus is a unique indoor plant known for its vibrant red blooms that emerge during the holiday season. Unlike traditional cacti, this plant thrives in a more humid environment, making it an excellent choice for indoor spaces.

Botanical Characteristics

This stunning succulent belongs to the Schlumbergera genus and features segmented stems that can grow up to 24 inches long. The plant's foliage is a rich green, providing a beautiful contrast to its striking purple flowers. Each bloom can last for several weeks, adding a touch of color and cheer to your home during the winter months.

Cultural Requirements

The Christmas Cactus prefers indirect light and well-draining soil. It requires moderate watering, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. This makes it relatively low-maintenance while still rewarding you with its spectacular floral display.

Care Tips

• Light: Place in bright, indirect sunlight.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Humidity: Enjoys a humid environment; consider misting occasionally.
• Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 60°F and 70°F.
