The Christmas cactus — also known as Schlumbergera bridgessii or sometimes called the Easter cactus — is one of the most admired indoor plants, especially during the winter months. With its cascading stems and vivid, colorful blooms, this plant has the power to brighten up any room. What makes it even more remarkable is that, with the right care, it can flower more than once a year, turning into a year-round source of beauty and color.
Propagation Made Simple
One of the joys of owning a Christmas cactus is how easy it is to propagate. If you want to grow new plants or share them with friends, start by cutting a small Y-shaped segment from the tip of a healthy stem. Make sure the cutting comes from a vigorous part of the plant — weak or damaged stems won’t root properly.
