CACTUS: Cactus, the common name for a family of desert plants. The plural is cacti or cactuses. Most species bear sharp, needlelike spines, which protect the plants from foraging desert animals. Cacti are famed for their ability to resist drought, which they owe to the fact that moisture from inside the plant evaporates very slowly through the plant's skin.

Cacti grow in hundreds of different shapes. The fibrous, juicy stems may be globular, cylindrical, branched, trailing and vinelike, ribbed, grooved, or knob-bearing. Only two species have true leaves. The rest of the 2,000 species are leafless.

A mixture of several barrel cactus, colorful, large and small types.

Cactus plants are a joy to grow. A mix of plant types, shapes and heights will provide a unique planting, indoors or outside.

Start seeds inside in pots filled with equal parts of coarse sand and potting soil. Keep warm, moist, and shaded until plants have emerged. When plants are established, transplant to larger pots inside or out. Feed monthly and protect from freezing.

Hirt's Pink Christmas Cactus Plant - Zygocactus - 4" Pot

Hirt's Pink Christmas Cactus Plant - Zygocactus - 4" Pot Review



Hirt's Pink Christmas Cactus Plant - Zygocactus - 4" Pot Feature

  • Easy to grow house plant
  • Prefers some sun
  • Water when dry
  • With proper care will bloom between Thanksgiving and Christmas
  • Immediate shipping in 4" pot.
The Christmas cactus is native to the South American jungles. The flowers bloom once a year and come in shades of fuchsia, yellow, salmon, pink, white, orange, red and sometimes will even have a combination of the colors.

The Christmas cacti are tropical plants. They require sunlight and the blooms last longer with cooler temperatures. Keep them away from heaters, fireplaces, radiators, furnace ducts, and other heat sources. Place in a sunny location while indoors and if outdoors during the summer, find a place that has a sun/shade mix to prevent the plant from getting burned.

The best way to be sure your plant is getting just the right amount of water is to wait until the soil is dry on the top and still a bit moist toward the bottom. Then water the plant until the soil is saturated. Drain off any excess water that accumulates on the bottom. Then do not water again until the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch again.

Well-drained soil is very important. A high quality cactus mix is great. If you can't find any that is made for cactus you can mix two parts regular potting soil with one part coarse sand.

In order to insure your plant will bloom in time for Christmas, you will need to give the plant a rest period. Cut back on the watering leaving the soil only partly moist. Allow at least 14 hours of total darkness for the plant at night and sun during the day, until the buds begin to form. Start the dark period in early September. Once the buds form they can take from 10 to 12 weeks to fully bloom. After the Christmas cactus is done blooming you can prune it to incourage new growth. You'll also find that the plant will bloom better next year if it is trimmed.

As new growth appears in the spring, put a diluted solution of liquid houseplant fertilizer 2 to 3 weeks after the start of the new growth. The cactus should be repotted every 2 to 3 years depending on how depleted the soil is. Repotting should be done in the spring.

Mixed Melocactus Cactus 20 Seeds - Mixed Species Feature

  • Similar to barrel cacti when young but from their crown a large tuft of bristles will emerge in time
  • Produces small pink flowers and edible fruits
  • Melocactus includes about 50 species
  • They grow wild in the stony highlands of Mexico, the West Indies, Central America, Peru and Northern Brazil
  • 20 Seeds
Similar to barrel cacti when young but from their crown a large tuft of bristles will emerge in time. Produces small pink flowers and edible fruits. Melocactus includes about 50 species. They grow wild in the stony highlands of Mexico, the West Indies, Central America, Peru and Northern Brazil. Melocactus grows in dry areas where rainwater quickly disappears and moist air from the sea provides the necessary humidity.
Blooming time: Melocactus is as round as a ball with many strong, thorny ribs. The plant is not mature enough to flower until it is 6 to 10 years old. At this stage its appearance changes. An orange or reddish hairy outgrowth called a cephalium develops at the top of the cactus. Small reddish, self pollinating flowers grow at the top of the cephalium. When flowering is over, red or white berries appear.
Culture: Melocactus needs a well drained, very light and porous soil so water won't remain around the roots and block the flow of air through the soil. Soil should be made of equal parts cactus soil and pumice, with pot fragments in the bottom of the pot for drainage. Melocactus grows from April to October. It needs plenty of light and more heat than other cacti. Water regularly, but allow the soil to dry quite a bit before watering again. Melocactus rests from October to April. During this time water sparingly. Keep the soil on the dry side, but make sure the roots never dry out. This calls for great care when watering. Do not feed in winter.
