Bring Spring Indoors with an Easter Cactus Plant
The Easter Cactus Plant, also known as Spring Cactus or Rhipsalidopsis Hatiora, is a delightful addition to any indoor garden. This red plant variety offers vibrant color and unique beauty. Please note that the plant ships without a pot, carefully wrapped to ensure safe transit. Some minor browning on edges may occur due to shipping stress, but this is temporary and easily remedied with proper care.
Our nursery is bee and butterfly-friendly, minimizing the use of sprays and prioritizing natural pest control methods. While occasional minor leaf damage may occur, rest assured that all plants are free from pests before shipping. We take great care in packaging your plant, but some cosmetic damage during transit is possible and new leaves will quickly grow.
Please pot your new Spring Cactus in well-draining soil and provide bright, indirect sunlight. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. With proper care, your Rhipsalidopsis Hatiora will flourish, rewarding you with stunning blooms. Remember to research proper plant care for your growing environment, and consider using fungicide and bug control as preventative measures.
