About Red Christmas Cactus

The Red Christmas Cactus, also known scientifically as Schlumbergera, adds a festive touch to your home with its vibrant red blossoms that brighten the shortest days of the year. Despite its "cactus" name, this plant is native to Brazil's shaded rainforests and thrives in bright, indirect light rather than direct sun. A spot with gentle morning light can bring out its color even more.

Caring for a Red Christmas Cactus is both simple and rewarding. Plant it in well-draining soil and water only when the top inch of soil is dry. This Schlumbergera enjoys moderate humidity, making it well-suited to living rooms, bedrooms, or even bathrooms. During its flowering season, it appreciates a bit of extra care, including a cooler spot and slightly reduced watering to encourage more blooms.

With an average growth height of around 30 cm, the Red Christmas Cactus is perfect for desktops, windowsills, and holiday decorations. Safe for pets and small children, this plant brings a pop of color each winter with a bit of love and patience!
