Although Poinsettias are considered the classic holiday plant, these forest cacti deserve the same status since they naturally bloom from late fall into winter. The bright plump buds open to exotically shaped, dark pink blooms at the ends of gracefully drooping, semi-succulent branches of flattened segments. Easygoing and delightful, perfect for a hanging basket or to dangle down from a shelf. Schlumbergera spp.
Reblooming is triggered by a combination of shortening day length and cooling temperatures.
