Holiday Plant

Hybrids bloom in white, pink, red, purple, violet, and yellow. Flowers last up to a month. Plants rebloom year after year, seemingly miraculously, just in time for Christmas - hence their name. Related plants bloom each year at Thanksgiving or Easter time. These curious succulent plants survive for decades, and become pass-along treasures among families and friends.

Provide bright, indirect light, and high humidity (mist the plant weekly). Allow soil to dry between waterings. Fertilize every other week in summer with a water-soluble fertilizer at one-third of the recommended strength. Cut back on food in fall. Move plants to a cool (60-65 degrees F) room where plants get at least 12 hours of darkness every night until buds form.
