Advantages: hardy, beautiful, small

Disadvantages: only flowers for short time, looks dead rest of the year

Christmas cactii provide a shot of colour and a welcome break from the amarillis at this inhospitable time of the year. Their unusually shaped leaves and dramatic flowers provide an interesting festive table decoration or complement to the christmas tree. The flowers are startlingly bright and surprisingly luxuriant, sprouting from the rather quiet green leaf stems.
I have two of these plants, which i received as a gift over three years ago and which have travelled across the country when i moved house this summer. Despite being rather ill - treated in terms of late repotting and being left out in the cold rather too long they never fail to flower spectacularly. Buds are evident from around mid - November and full bloom can be expected for your turkey and christmas pudding.
