Also called Schlumbergia or Christmas Cactus. This cascading, epiphytic cactus is ideal for use in hanging baskets. It has flat segmented stems, resembling crab claws and it bears striking, long-lasting tubular flowers in winter. Flowers comes in shades of pink, red, purple and orange. This cactus will even flower indoors. Needs to be watered regularly in spring and summer and much less in winter. Do not place in direct sunlight.
