Today we want to offer you two wonderful species that you can know and cultivate with extreme simplicity, the first suitable for decorating the houses inside them, the second to make i window sills of an original elegance.

The SCHLUMBERGERA is also called "CHRISTMAS CACTUS" precisely because of its succulent nature and the period in which its splendid flowers bloom! It is a much loved houseplant and very easy to care for.

Originally from Central America she fits and lives perfectly in the apartments of our cities and with little attention it is able to give an elegant and wonderful flowering that can last for a long time. Her flowering is exciting and very showy thanks to the difference between the internal and external tepals which I think an incredible effect making it look like a flower inside another flower.

The only precautions you must have in pot cultivation are mainly two:

  • to have good quality soil
  • have one correct placement, both as regards the exposure to light which must be abundant but not direct, and for the air currents from which it must stay away because they could endanger the health of the plant.

The Christmas Cactus is a perennial and variety using the right precautions they can reach an age of 20 and over. A truly impressive achievement.

Not afraid of the cold, requires little care but on the other hand it has a enormous aesthetic value.

Hellebores are vigorous cold-hardy garden plants.
