Christmas Cactus – Schlumbergera truncata or Schlumbergera buckleyi

The unusual and vibrant flowers of the Christmas cactus will leave a long-lasting impression in any house or office environment.

The leaves are thick segments all in a long chain radiating from the plant’s centre which have the ability to store water in times of drought. The Christmas cactus is available in a wide range of striking colours

Key secrets to success:

• Postion in bright light but avoid direct sunlight.
• Keep soil moist, but make sure the plant does not sit in water, as this will lead to root and stem rot.
•  Ideal temperature would be between 14 and 21*C.
