Christmas may be synonymous with the classic Poinsettia, but it's hard to overlook the plant that's named after the holiday: The Christmas Cactus. In Martha Stewart's home, this vibrant plant (also known as Schlumbergera) is not only a festive staple, but also one that carries a sentimental meaning.
Martha's Christmas Cactus belonged to her mother before her late sister discovered two small stem segments and replanted them to achieve the plant she now displays in her Bedford farmhouse. With the right Christmas cactus care, she created a time-honored treasure, and it's refreshingly easy to follow her example.
