Christmas Cactus

Schlumbergera bridgesii

A popular, long-lived, holiday-blooming succulent featuring flat, segmented stems. It produces gorgeous, tubular flowers in pink, red, or white during winter.

Care Requirements

Light

Bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun will turn the leaves red/purple and burn them.

Water

Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry. Unlike desert cacti, it originates in tropical rainforests and likes slightly more water.
