PHOTO COURTESY MELINDA MYERS Christmas cactus is a general name given to a small group of cacti called Schlumbergera that are native to southeastern Brazil’s coastal mountains.
The holidays have arrived and so has the Christmas cactus. Set this favorite holiday plant in a basket, decorative pot or foil wrap and it will be ready to give as a gift or add to your holiday décor. With proper care this holiday favorite can flower for four to eight weeks and grow for decades, becoming a family heirloom handed down from one generation to the next.
