Horticultural Description
Known as a Christmas cactus, because of its bloomtime in the winter, 'Pink and Red', has raspberry red blooms with a hint of pink. It grows fairly quickly and would rather be kept on the dry side, because in colder conditions when the soil is wet, it tends to rot.
“In our Lake Erie greenhouses, this cultivar produces its most vibrant foliage when given consistent morning light and steady warmth. When your order arrives, allow it to settle for 24 hours in indirect light before potting up into fresh, airy potting mix.”
— Jen Webber, Lead HorticulturistFrequently Asked Growing Questions
