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.
Please note that bloom colour may differ from the image. We cannot guarantee that plant will be flowered at time of purchase.
