A Christmas cactus, also known as a 'holiday cactus' or 'Schlumbergera', will bring a beautiful burst of color into your home over winter. Blooming around November and December, and blooming in pinks, red, and white, it's a cacti destined to make a statement.
Christmas cactus care may not be for beginners, but if you take some time to read up on common problems faced by the succulent, from temperature stress to why your Christmas cactus is not blooming, you'll be in a good, all-round position to take the best care of your plant. When these plants get older and larger, their stems can become woody. This isn't anything to be concerned about, in fact it is totally normal, but it might indicate your plant could benefit from a trim.
