Spring cacti are very similar to Christmas cacti. The main difference is that Spring cacti bloom in the spring and Christmas cacti bloom in the late fall or early winter. They also have different leaf shape too. Christmas cacti have flattened, scalloped segments, while spring cacti have more rounded, pointed segments. However, there are some hybrid varieties that may have a mix of both leaf shapes.

Since spring cacti bloom in the spring, they will be the perfect addition to my garden that will help the bees out. I’ll be taking an inside when temperatures drop below 50°. For the second half of the year I will be growing it as a house plant.  but for spring and summer it will be out in my garden to support my local bees.
