A.k.a. Crab Cactus / Christmas Cactus
Zygocactus belong to the cactus family however they are not desert plants. Zygos grows well all over Australia - particularly in cooler climates - which makes it perfect for us in Tassie.
Flowering during Autumn and winter it makes a fantastic houseplant, adding a vibrant splash of colour indoors during the gloomiest time of year.
While they love cool temperatures, they cant tolerate freezing conditions so be sure to keep them well protected if outdoors.
Flower colours range from white, yellow, orange through to lavender, pink and red.
