Care Guide
Christmas Cactus Hanging BasketBrazil
Plant Care
Thrives in bright indirect to medium indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct afternoon sun.
Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity when in bloom. Christmas Cacti can be sensitive to water with a high calcium content. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
This is a pet friendly plant!
With proper care, a Christmas cactus can live for over 20 to 30 years. Some people even inherit their plants, passing them down through generations. Its longevity makes it a cherished family heirloom for many!
