The Schlumbergera Truncata - 'Christmas Cactus' or Thanksgiving Cactus is also called Crab Cactus or False Christmas Cactus, is a winter-flowering, house plant that has become a popular holiday gift due to its ease of propagation and care.

Grows as a trailing/drooping plant and tends to do best when allowed to hang and encourage stem growth. Humidity is important as this is a tropical origin succulent, native to South America and not a typical arid-loving cactus. Do not let the soil run dry, but be careful to not let it set in wet soil for long periods at a time. Adapts well to low light environments but is more apt to produce blooms when exposed to brighter light, though too much direct light can cause sunburn and cause the leaves to yellow.

Thanksgiving Cactus - 'Christmas Cactus'

Unlike other Cacti, the Schlumbergera's family are not use to hot, dry environments. These are in fact epiphytic succulents, despite their name, and are native to the tropical rainforests of southern Brazil. Here they grow on tree branches and bask in the high humidity, dappled sunlight and warm climate.
