Zygocactus (Schlumbergera, Decembrist, or Christmas Cactus) usually blooms in November or December, when the tropical summer starts in its homeland. The flowering ends in the last days of January. It can decorate the interior design with its wonderful blooms, which can be of red, pink, orange or white color. This luxurious and Christmassy plant is a great choice for Christmas gift. These houseplants are covered with beautiful flowers of different shape and texture. The plants add some delicacy and prettiness to the décor. It can not only delight the eyes, but clean the indoor air, improves mood and removes stress after hard working day. It grows well in a bright place, but without direct sunlight. It will feel even more comfortable in partial shade. Water the plant with approximately 1 glass of room temperature water when the top few inches of soil seem to be on drier side to the touch (about once a week depending on the growing conditions). Don’t let the plant sit in soggy soil or overdried. Zygocactus is shipped in 4” pot. The plant prefers high level of air humidity and tolerates lack of humidity. Zygocactus must be watered systematically. It doesn’t stand drafts, which have negative effect on the plant. Feed the plant with compound mineral fertilizer once in two weeks from March to August. When the buds are appeared start feeding the plant again, using the fertilizer for blooming plants. The height of the plant shipped varies from 8” to 10” which is measured from the bottom of the pot to the very top of the plant. The width of the plant is between 8” to 10”. The repotting of the plant is made once in a few years in the early spring, since the soil can lose all its useful properties during this time. The pot should be just a little bigger than the previous one. Your plant may look little different from the advertised; however, be assured, we handpicked our plants to meet your expectations.
