Did you know that the Zygocactus (also known as the Christmas or Decembrist) is a tropical plant? It loves heat and although it is considered unpretentious, this does not mean that fertilization and proper care can be neglected.
Our flower lovers absolutely adore it – especially because it doesn’t require much care and pleases everyone with its flowering right during the New Year holidays.
