Description

The Thanksgiving Cactus (Schlumbergera truncata) is a vibrant, winter-flowering epiphytic cactus native to the coastal mountains of southeastern Brazil. Distinguished by its flattened, segmented stems with pointed, claw-like projections, it produces tubular, erect flowers in shades of red, pink, orange, purple, or white during late fall, typically around November . Unlike desert cacti, it thrives in humid, shaded environments, often growing on trees or rocks in its natural habitat. Cultivated widely as a houseplant, it has become a holiday favorite due to its timely blooms and ease of care.

Distinctive Stem Segments: Flattened, green segments with pointed, claw-like projections.
Erect, Tubular Flowers: Blooms are upright and tubular, differing from the pendant flowers of related species.
Epiphytic Growth Habit: Naturally grows on trees or rocks in humid, forested environments .
