These plants are part of our 'Home Grown Propagations & Cuttings' collection, please visit this page for more information.
Pot size (diameter): 5.5 cm, Approx Height: 10 cm. Two cuttings rooted in sphagnum moss.
The Schlumbergera or 'Christmas Cactus' earned its name as it produces an abundance of vibrant red or pink blooms during the winter season.
Also known as Thanksgiving cactus, holiday cactus or crab cactus.
Forget bouquets of flowers, this funky succulent plant is the perfect addition to your houseplant collection.
Once the stems grow long enough, they will start to hang down under their own weight. You can thicken the plant out but cutting it back & propagating the stems - your plant will also branch out from wherever you cut it!
Colour selected at random, if you order multiple Christmas Cacti we will do our best to pick out a varied selection. If you have a specific preference to colour then leave us a note at checkout and we will try to accommodate where possible.
Care:
Light: Bright indirect light will promote the best growth. Older plants can withstand direct sunlight.
Water: Only water once the soil is completely dry then give a heavy water. When the leaves wrinkle, that's a sign that it's ready for watering.
Food: Not a requirement but if you choose to; use a light cacti fertiliser.
Humidity: Will thrive in a normal home humidity but will also tolerate dry air.
