Schlumbergera
Schlumbergera is a very special indoor plant that flowers wonderfully in the Winter. These mixed Christmas cactus will bring festive cheer, blooming non stop from November to the end of January. With their pretty flowers with flashes of white and a striped fuchsia pink centre the Winter months are definitely much more colourful with a Christmas cactus.
- EASY TO CARE FOR - These real houseplants in a 10cm plastic growing pot are very easy to care for, growing to between 15 and 30 cm in height. Christmas cactus grow best in a light spot out of the bright direct sunlight. Place the cactus in an east facing window for moderate light and some direct sun. If the leaves turn red or pink, it might be getting too much sun.
- ONGOING CARE - Keep the soil around the Schlumbergera moderately moist but not soggy. The soil may be on the slightly drier side. Rather than watering little and often, occasionally, water generously. Unlike most cacti, the Christmas cactus loves a moist atmosphere, misting the plant every few days is ideal.
- PLEASE NOTE - These three plants arrive in 10cm plastic growing pots, picked at random from the following colours - red, purple, white and yellow. We aim to send you three different colours, but depending on availability you may receive two of the same colour.
