• Light Requirements: Bright, indirect light. Keep in a warm location, over 55 degrees. 
• Water Requirements: Water Christmas cacti thoroughly once the soil has completely dried out since its last watering. Allow excess water to run out through the drainage holes.
• Characteristics: Christmas Cactus has segmented leaves with hanging flowers in red, pink, orange, and white hues. The range of bloom time is typically November through February.
• Uses: The Christmas Cactus has become a popular holiday houseplant to add some color to the season.
• Interesting Facts: When taken care of properly a Christmas cactus can last 20 – 30 years! 
• Varieties:  Schlumbergera x buckleyi (syn. Schlumbergera bridgesii) is the true Christmas cactus, but Schlumbergera truncata can also be sold as a Christmas cactus. Schlumbergera truncata has more notched stems and blooms earlier, closer to Thanksgiving.
