Growing Information
The Christmas Cactus prefers indirect sunlight and should be placed in a well-lit indoor area. Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

This plant is hardy in zones 9-11 and is typically sold in a 4-inch pot, making it easy to incorporate into your indoor garden or holiday decor.
