Christmas Cactus


Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera x buckleyi)


These little gems thrive on neglect.  They don’t need you to worry about when they will bloom, they do it automatically.  Keep it in a bright sunny window and let it dry completely before watering.  Feed it once a month to keep it happy and healthy.  They can be propagated easy enough by sticking a leaf sect in the soil.  Prune them if they start getting too long and leggy to promote branching and more blossoms.  They come in a vast array of colors, and are available in the late fall at our store.
