First off, let’s get a bit technical for those of you who geek out on all things plant like me. My scarlet Christmas Cactus that you see here and in the video is actually a Thanksgiving (or Crab) Cactus. It was labeled as a CC when I bought it & that’s how it’s commonly sold in the trade.
Now days you may see them labeled as Holiday Cactus. Regardless of which one you have, you care for these epiphytic cacti in the same manner.
Christmas Cacti are most commonly sold in 4″ or 6″ pots. I’ve also seen them in 6″, 8″ & 10″ hanging baskets. Quite a few years ago I saw one in a greenhouse that was really big – over 6′ wide. Yes, they can be a long lasting houseplant!
Holiday Cacti, like Poinsettias, are photoperiodic. They require equal or longer periods of darkness to bloom again.
The care for Thanksgiving Cactus & Christmas Cactus is the same. The Thanksgiving Cactus blooms about 3-4 weeks earlier than the Christmas Cactus & is popular because some people want to get a jump on their Christmas flowers.
I was also told by a grower that the Thanksgiving Cactus ships easier because it’s not as pendulous and the leaves tend not to break off. Hence, some just call them Holiday Cactus.
Whichever one you have, it makes an easy, long lasting houseplant.
