A Christmas cactus, also known as Schlumbergera or Holiday Cactus, is a popular holiday plant known for its vibrant, holiday-themed blooms. It's a tropical plant that does not require direct sunlight and actually prefers indirect or filtered light. If you have a spot in your home that gets bright, indirect light, that would be the perfect location for your Christmas cactus. It's also important to keep the soil moist but not soggy, and to fertilize it every other week during the growing season.
