Holiday Cactus White Schlumbergera Plants – 3 Inch Pot Indoor/Outdoor Christmas Thanksgiving Cactus

Bring Holiday Cheer with White Holiday Cactus Plants

Add a touch of festive elegance to your home with these beautiful white Holiday Cactus plants. Also known as Christmas or Thanksgiving Cactus, these plants produce stunning blooms that brighten any space during the holiday season. Easy to care for, they make a perfect addition to your indoor or outdoor plant collection. This set includes 2 small plants in a 3-inch pot, ready to thrive with the right care.

To ensure your Holiday Cactus thrives, provide bright, indirect light, mimicking its natural environment. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Maintain temperatures between 60-70°F (16-21°C) and provide high humidity by misting or using a pebble tray. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, and reduce watering slightly after blooming to encourage a rest period. Using a well-draining, slightly acidic soil mix is crucial for preventing root rot.

Fertilize your Holiday Cactus with a balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) once a month from spring to early fall. Reducing fertilization in fall and winter helps prepare the plant for blooming. To encourage blooms, provide cooler temperatures (50-60°F or 10-15°C) and 12-14 hours of darkness for about 6 weeks before the expected blooming period. Reducing watering slightly before flowering can also help set buds, ensuring a vibrant display of white flowers.
