Rose Christmas Cactus - 4''
The Rose Christmas Cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii) is a stunning holiday favorite, known for its vibrant rose-colored blooms that appear during the winter season. In a 4-inch pot, this compact plant is perfect for indoor gardens, tabletops, or as a cheerful holiday gift. The arching stems feature flat, green segments that cascade gracefully over time, making it a striking hanging plant as well.
Native to the tropical rainforests of Brazil, the Rose Christmas Cactus thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining potting mix. It’s essential to keep the soil slightly moist during its growing season, but reduce watering after blooming to allow the plant to rest. This cactus benefits from cooler temperatures leading up to its blooming period, encouraging its signature rose-colored flowers to develop.
With proper care, the Rose Christmas Cactus can live for many years, becoming more spectacular with each passing season. It’s a must-have for any indoor plant lover looking to add a touch of color during the colder months.
