A Christmas cactus makes a great contemporary twist on traditional festive foliage. If you're bored of poinsettias, these plants provide beautiful pink blooms that brighten up any space, but only when your cactus is in good health.

If this sounds familiar, you're forgiven - there's no denying that houseplant care is difficult this time of year - but the good news is, the Christmas cactus makes a great houseplant for beginners.
