Christmas Cactus and other Cacti
Now here's a gift that is right to the point....ouch. Sorry for that one!
Christmas Cactus are so named because they are a flower that blooms a tiny
red flower right around the Christmas season.
Cactus are easy to care for and thrive well in the cool and dry conditions
of your home during winter. Sure, your cactus plant can withstand long periods
of dry weather and the soil need not be very wet. But, your plant will need
water. The common belief is that cactus live in deserts filled with sand.
In reality cactus live in fringe areas. Cactus actually appreciate a healthy
level of compost or humus in the soil.
There is a wide variety of cactus varieties to choose from. By far the most
common is the Christmas Cactus.
