December 2, 2025: This is not a drill! Christmas Cactus plants have arrived, and they’re covered in bright blooms.🌸🌟
We’ve got them in white, pale yellow, light pink, bright red, and hot pink, with many sizes to choose from!
Here are 3 fun facts about the Christmas Cactus:
1. They are native to the rainforests of Brazil! Not like most cacti which prefer a hot, dry climate. So don’t forget about them when watering! Check with your finger before watering, making sure soil is dry and needing water (not still damp). If it’s damp, wait a few days and check again.
2. They are epiphytic (bonus points if you know what this means from our Teaching Thursday about Air Plants a couple of weeks ago). In their native climate, they like to grow on trees!
3. A Christmas Cactus likes being root-bound. They bloom more prolifically when their roots are a bit snugger in their pot. Keep this in mind when repotting, making sure to put them in a container that isn’t too large. This can result in a decrease in their blooming.
