  •   Schlumbergera, also called Christmas Cactus, is a tropical cactus in the Cactaceae family native to the cloud forests of southeastern Brazil. Unlike desert cacti, it evolved as an epiphyte clinging to trees in humid, shaded forest canopies.

      Schlumbergera features flattened, segmented stems with slightly serrated edges that cascade as the plant matures. The segments are glossy and smooth, creating a full appearance that works equally well in a hanging basket or displayed on a shelf.

      It blooms in late autumn through winter, producing tubular flowers in shades of pink, red, white, and purple at the tips of trailing stems. Cooler night temperatures and longer dark periods trigger blooming, so a seasonal temperature drop is essential for holiday flowers.

      Schlumbergera is a beginner-friendly cactus that does well in kitchens and bathrooms where ambient moisture keeps it content. It is pet friendly, so no concern with curious cats or dogs. It also releases oxygen at night, making it a thoughtful addition to a bedroom. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

  •   Christmas Cactus Thanksgiving Cactus grows well in bright indirect light and scorches in south-facing windows with intense direct sun.

      Water it thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry, roughly every 10 to 14 days.

      Schlumbergera does best in a well-draining mix of regular potting soil combined with perlite or orchid bark for aeration.

      It prefers temperatures between 60 and 70°F and needs a night drop to around 50 to 55°F to trigger blooming.

      Schlumbergera is a moderate grower that benefits from balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 9 through 11, tolerating temperatures down to about 30°F before frost damage becomes a risk. It grows outdoors in Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Nevada, and the Oregon coast. Gardeners in cooler states including New York, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Colorado, Washington, and beyond grow it successfully indoors year-round and can move it outside during summer.
  • Q: How often should I water Christmas Cactus Thanksgiving Cactus?
    A: Check the soil before watering; the top inch should feel dry. This typically occurs every 10 to 14 days. The stem tips will look slightly shriveled or feel less firm when thirsty.

    Q: Is it safe around pets?
    A: Yes. Christmas Cactus Thanksgiving Cactus is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.

    Q: How do I get Schlumbergera to bloom?
    A: Expose it to cooler nights around 50 to 55°F and longer periods of darkness for several weeks in autumn. This temperature drop triggers its signature holiday flowers.

    Q: Why are the leaves turning yellow?
    A: Yellowing most often comes from overwatering, low humidity, or exposure to dry air from vents. Move it away from vents, reduce watering, and mist occasionally to help recovery.

    Q: How do I propagate Christmas Cactus?
    A: Snap off two to three stem segments and let the cut end callous for a day. Place it just below the surface of moist potting mix; roots typically form within three to four weeks.

    Q: Can I move it outside in summer?
    A: Christmas Cactus loves spending summer outdoors in a shaded or dappled-light spot where it gets extra humidity and fresh air. Bring it back inside before nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F in autumn.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
