TURN YOUR CHRISTMAS CACTI INTO NEXT SEASON’S GIFTS A calming holiday de-stress guide to propagation, care, and farmers market sales. You received a Christmas Cacti; now What? Christmas cacti are a festive star among houseplants that bring a vibrant splash of color to your home during the holiday season. Unlike their desert-dwelling cactus, they thrive in cooler, indirect light environments, preferring the cozy indoors over the harsh, arid outdoors. Their lush, green, flattened stems cascade beautifully from hanging baskets, while their mesmerizing blooms—ranging from vivacious pinks and reds to elegant whites—add a touch of natural charm to any decor. As its name suggests, the Christmas cactus has a knack for blooming just in time for the holiday season, turning heads with its festive floral display. This punctual blooming and striking appearance has made it a symbol of holiday cheer worldwide. But the allure of this plant extends beyond its beauty. Christmas cacti are not only easy to care for but are also known for their longevity, often becoming cherished heirlooms passed down through generations. Plus, they're non-toxic to pets, making them a safe choice for families with furry friends. Whether you're a seasoned indoor gardener or a budding plant enthusiast, the Christmas cactus offers a rewarding and unique gardening experience. Its rich history, intriguing growth habits, and stunning aesthetic make it a fascinating subject of study and a delightful addition to any home. Christmas cacti are often confused with Thanksgiving cacti (Schlumbergera truncata) and Easter cacti (Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri or Hatiora gaertneri), primarily because they all belong to the same family (Cactaceae) and have similar care needs. In this video, Kari explains how to identify and care for your holiday cactus and then propagate it in the Bootstrap Farmer Propagation Bundle to turn one plant into added sales to your farmer's market stand.
