Christmas Cactus makes a wonderfully, unique gift. It's a super easy plant to care for, if you know the rules:
Pot it in well-draining cactus soil.
Water only when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Give it a home in bright, indirect sunlight (a south-facing window is ideal).
Remove spent blooms.
Provide a cool, dark spot next autumn for more blooms next Christmas.
The key to Christmas Cactus is to avoid over watering, which will lead to rot.
