😡 Why Red Cactus is better than Christmas Cactus

• ⛔️ Everybody wants this plant when they see it! Red Rhipsalis (Rhipsalis ramulosa) is a show-stopper with its arched, flat stems that cascade into a pendant display. When exposed to bright light, the stems turn a stunning violet-red, adding a vibrant pop of color to your space.
• ⛔️ Flat, ribbon-like stems deepen to violet-red in high light. Tiny flowers and ornamental shell-like berries line the edges for an extra decorative touch.
• ⛔️ Can be grown as a creeper or in hanging baskets for a dramatic display. In bright light, the leaves are bright red year around - this is why it is even better than popular Christmas Cactus that blooms only once a year!
• ⛔️ Thrives in full sun to semi-shade with moderate watering. Use well-drained soil to prevent root rot and pinch the tips to encourage fuller growth.
• ⛔️ Looking for a unique and low-maintenance plant? Whether indoors in a pot or outdoors as a garden accent, Red Rhipsalis brings a touch of the exotic with minimal effort. Its vibrant stems and easy care make it a must-have for any plant lover!

😂 What is the most popular Christmas plant?

• 🥳 Every one knows Christmas Orchid Cactus - Schlumbergera. But this rare variety is exceptional - it is called New Deal.

This remarkable Christmas cactus hybrid has spectacular, large-flowers and blooms twice a season.
• 🥳 New Deal is completely lost to the trade today, but we have it at Top Tropicals for the first time after it was originally offered for purchase at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden over 90 years ago while having a special rare plant sale on the day of the famous presidential election on November 8, 1932 when F.D.R. was historically voted in as the next American president.
• 🥳 The plants we are offering are all 3rd generation vegetative propagation from an original specimen (still alive btw). Its name New Deal - is identical to President Franklin D. Roosevel main campaign slogan 🇺🇸
• 🥳 Not only is New Deal an exceptionally obscure, heirloom cultivar especially easy to grow under average house plant conditions,
• 🥳 It reliably produces almost an overabundance of brilliant violet-pink and white flowers which are easily an inch larger than any other variety.

🎩 How to take care of house plants in Winter

💡 Let There Be (Enough) Light!
Shorter days mean less light. Move plants closer to windows but avoid freezing drafts.

🚽 Water, but Sparingly
Overwatering is a winter no-no. Check soil dryness before watering—your plants won’t mind a little thirst.

🌈 Humidity is Happiness
Dry air isn't their friend. Use a humidifier or group plants together for a moisture boost.

👀 Wise Snacks
Use only amindo-acid based liquid Fertilizer in winter, like Sunshine Boosters. Let plants take their seasonal nap from dry plant food.

🤗 Keep It Cozy
Protect plants from cold windows and heat vents - consistent warmth is key.

🍀 Dust Those Leaves
Clean leaves help plants soak in the limited light. They'll thank you with a brighter look!

🌱 Your plants may slow down for winter, but with a little care, they’ll thrive until spring!
