Christmas cactus has been kept as a holiday houseplant since the 1800's. Early breeders crossed Schlumbergera truncata with Schlumbergera russelliana creating the beginnings of the hybrid plants you see today.
These plants are non-toxic to children and pets. They make a great choice for hanging baskets!
