        Anyone got an opinion on the best Bright Red variety? And maybe a white one too?

        Ditto for both XMas Cactus and Easter ones pls.

        I think I might try 4, one of each colour / season, as a long term project.

        I'm thinking about getting several colours and planting them in the same pot to create a multicolour effect.

          Remember it is poisonous to animals.

            I picked up a flowering "Christmas cactus" last week, only to realise it must have been labelled wrong as it is clearly an Easter Cactus - doh. Still very pretty! I have to say though Roders that is simply ammmmazing! Truly beautiful.
