Schlumbergera - Christmas Cactus

Christmas Cactus🎄

With its cascading stems and bursts of vivid pink, red, or white flowers, the Christmas Cactus is a seasonal show-off — blooming right when everything else outside has given up. Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, it’s a humidity-loving houseplant that rewards a bit of care with spectacular winter colour.

Unlike desert cacti, this one enjoys a little more attention. Its fleshy segmented leaves store water, but it still appreciates regular misting and a bright spot away from direct sunlight. Perfect for adding a soft splash of festive colour to your shelves or windowsill.
