Schlumbergera sp. (Christmas cactus)
An indoor plant with a showy bloom? Of course it's a bestseller.
This cactus is a staple in households the world over, but these epiphytic cacti are from rainforests rather than deserts. As a result their care is a little easy for most of us who tend to overwater rather than underwater their plants.
