what is the best soil for christmas cactus

Christmas cacti (also known as Schlumbergera bridgesii) are epiphytic, meaning they grow on other plants or structures rather than in the soil. For this reason, they are often grown in containers, where the soil provides the necessary support and moisture for the plant. The best soil for Christmas cacti should be well-draining and contain a high organic matter content. A typical mixture for these plants is two parts potting soil to one part perlite or sand.
