Christmas Cactus

Dainty flowers burst open like festive decorations on the tip of each succulent green stem of this fabulous Christmas cactus. Schlumbergia is a much-loved house plant that offers an exotic and colourful display year after year. Unlike its dessert cousins, this Christmas Cactus comes from the tropical climate found in Brazil's mountainous regions where it enjoys warmth and humidity. The flattened foliage forms a rounded clump with a naturally arching habit. Pink, red or white flowers appear at the stem tips for up to 8 weeks over winter creating a stunning display at the darkest time of the year.These forgiving plants are so easy to care for - even bouncing back after several weeks of neglect - just water them and their succulent foliage will quickly rehydrate. Over time, the plants grow into magnificent arching structures and can live for 20 years. An instant display for your own home or a super gift that just goes on giving! Height and spread: 45cm (18in).
