Schlumbergera truncata, commonly called Christmas cactus or holiday cactus is a popular winter-flowering houseplant native to Brazil. It is available in a wide variety of colours including red, purple, oranges, pinks and cream. Schlumbergera truncata grows best in light shade though full sunlight is beneficial in midwinter. It is tolerant of dry, slightly under-watered conditions and is best kept somewhat potbound. Potting media must be well-drained with good aeration. #schlumbergera #schlumbergeratruncata #floweringhouseplants #houseplants #houseplantsmakemehappy #holidayplants #livingwithplants #greeninterior #house_plant_community #indoorplantsdecor #plantparenthood #myplants
