Description

This Zygocactus (Christmas Cactus) produces striking pink, tubular flowers with pointed petals that hang elegantly from segmented stems. Flowering occurs seasonally, usually through the cooler months, with buds forming in response to shorter days. Grown in a 10 cm nursery pot, this plant is well suited to indoor conditions and bright, indirect light. Unlike desert cacti, Zygocactus prefers evenly moist soil, good airflow, and protection from harsh sun. An easy care flowering plant that performs reliably year after year once established.

Care Guide

Zygocactus (Christmas Cactus) Care Guide

Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can cause the segments to redden or burn. Tolerates lower light but flowering will be reduced.

Water
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Keep the mix lightly moist but never waterlogged. Reduce watering slightly once flowering finishes.

Humidity
Prefers average to higher humidity. Happy in kitchens, bathrooms, or near other plants. Occasional misting is beneficial in dry homes.

Temperature
Best grown between 15 to 24°C. Avoid sudden temperature changes and keep away from heaters or cold drafts.

Soil
Use a free draining mix. A quality indoor plant mix with added perlite or orchid bark works well. Good drainage is essential.

Feeding
Feed during active growth with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 3 to 4 weeks. Pause feeding while flowering.

Flowering tips
Bud formation is triggered by shorter days and cooler nights. Avoid moving the plant once buds appear, as this can cause them to drop.

Pet friendly
Non toxic to cats and dogs.
