Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera)

A festive beauty that brings bursts of color indoors during the holiday season. Its cascading stems and vibrant blooms in shades of pink, red, or white make it a cheerful accent for any home or office. Unlike desert cacti, this plant hails from tropical forests, so it thrives in softer light and a bit more moisture — making it easy to enjoy and care for year after year.

• Watering: Keep soil lightly moist; water when the top inch feels dry. Reduce watering in winter after flowering.
• Soil: Well-draining mix, ideally for succulents or cacti.
• Temperature: Prefers 15–24°C; avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes.
