Schlumbergera ‘Naomi’ | Pink Christmas Cactus

Schlumbergera ‘Naomi’, commonly known as a Christmas Cactus, brings vibrant pink flowers to your home during late autumn and winter. Its arching, segmented green stems make it a lovely choice for a bright windowsill, shelf or side table.

Supplied in a 13cm nursery pot at approximately 25cm tall, this pet-friendly houseplant makes a thoughtful seasonal gift and can flower again year after year with suitable care.

What Makes It Special?

Unlike desert cacti, Schlumbergera originates from tropical Brazilian forests, where its wild relatives grow on trees. Its flattened green segments are actually stems, with flowers developing at their tips. This forest background explains its preference for filtered light and more regular moisture.

Light & Position

Choose bright, indirect light, away from harsh midday sunshine, radiators and cold draughts. Keep conditions stable once buds have formed, as sudden changes can cause them to drop.

Watering & Feeding

Water when the upper few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then allow excess water to drain away. If your plant arrives in bud or flower, maintain light, consistent moisture without leaving it standing in water.

Feed during spring and summer with a liquid houseplant fertiliser, following the product instructions. Pause feeding during resting periods.

Encouraging Repeat Flowers

Normal indoor temperatures around 18–20°C suit active growth and flowering. For future blooms, a cooler autumn rest around 12–15°C, slightly reduced watering and naturally longer nights can help encourage buds.

Pet & Child Safety

Christmas Cacti are considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. They are ornamental plants, so discourage pets and young children from chewing them.
