do christmas cactus need sunlight

Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii) is a popular holiday plant that's native to Brazil. While it can tolerate indirect sunlight, it does not require direct sunlight to survive. It prefers bright, indirect light and should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as this can cause sunburn. In general, it's best to place the plant in a location with bright, indirect light and keep it away from direct sunlight.
