Holiday Cactus: A Festive Showstopper That Lasts

The Holiday Cactus, also known as the Thanksgiving Cactus, is your go-to fall and winter bloomer, delivering a burst of colorful flowers just when most plants are taking a break. It’s like holiday magic—on a stem!

  • Blooms in winter: Just when you need a pop of color, this cactus comes alive with vibrant flowers in November, and often lasting through March.

  • Indoor superstar: Loves bright, indirect light and cozy indoor temps. Ideal for adding cheer to windowsills or tabletops.
  • Long-living legacy: With a little care, your Holiday Cactus could outlive your holiday decorations, offering long-lasting interest.
  • Container friendly: Grows beautifully in pots, making it a space-saving solution for apartments and indoor gardens.

If you're dreaming of a green Christmas (with a dash of floral flair), the Holiday Cactus delivers year after year. It’s not just a plant—it’s a festive tradition with roots!

How to care for a Holiday Cactus

Holiday Cactus

Plant Origin: Brazil

Sunlight requirements

Thrives in bright indirect to medium indirect light. Not suited for intense, direct sun. Extended periods of low light in the fall will help encourage winter blooms.

Watering requirements

Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to dry out half way down between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light. This plant can benefit from extra humidity when in bloom. Christmas Cacti can be sensitive to water with a high calcium content. Try using filtered water or leaving water out overnight before using.
