Red and White Christmas Cactus | plants.com

Our red & white Christmas cactus sets the tone for celebrating. In late fall, it starts to bud up, showing off candy-striped blooms just in time for the holidays. During the rest of the year, its arching stems and spine-free, glossy green leaves bring a structurally interesting style to any space. Ours is designed in a white birch container, creating a warm, woodland style anywhere in the home. Add our Balsam and Cedar candle to bring the quintessential scent of evergreens into your home all season long.

Plant Perk: Sometimes the Christmas cactus will surprise you with additional blooms later in winter and spring!

Details:

• Christmas cactus has arching stems and non-prickly, glossy green segments year-round and bi-color red & white flowers appearing in November, lasting through the holidays, and resting after January
• Arrives in budding and blooming form
• Designed in a natural white birch container
• Available in 2 sizes:

  • Large measures overall approximately 12-14"H x 8"D
• Also available: Classic Balsam and Cedar fragrance candle, with notes of rich oak moss, cinnamon and eucalyptus; glossy glaze exterior and metallic rim; 4.8 oz.

Light: Bright, indirect sunlight is best to encourage full growth and late fall bud set
Water: Provide even moisture; stop watering in fall until plants set buds; water lightly until flowering stops

Temperature: Average room temperatures between 65-75°F are preferred; cooler night temperatures between 55-65°F are appreciated in winter
Tending Tip: The secret to getting multiple winter blooms is moving the plant outside in summer. Provide a location with bright, indirect sunlight; if the stems start to turn purplish-red, they’re getting too much sun; bring inside before temperatures dip below 50°F

Plant Friendliness: Though not known to be toxic, keep out of harm’s way from pets and children
