Christmas Cactus 'Red' is the holiday plant that gets handed down: flat green segments that arch and branch, tipped in late fall with buds that open into layered red blooms right when the house is full and the lights are up. Plants like this one are famous for living for decades and blooming every single year.
It is a jungle cactus, not a desert one, so it likes a little more water and a little less sun than its spiky cousins. Give it bright indirect light and a cool, dark-ish spell in fall and it sets buds on its own. Completely safe around pets, so it can sit in the middle of the holiday without a second thought.
