Christmas Cactus: Schlumbergera bridgesii


Christmas Cactus: Schlumbergera bridgesii (Cactaceae)

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!
