It’s Jenny from My Garden Nursery!

Christmas cactus and poinsettias aren’t just beautiful holiday gift plants and with the right care, you can enjoy them for years to come.

Let’s start with Christmas cactus. These tropical plants love bright, indirect light and even moisture. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and don’t let them sit in standing water. Christmas Cactus can last for over 100 years.

Poinsettias get a bad rap, but they’re actually easy to keep happy. They like bright, light, warm rooms, and regular watering once the pot feels light. Keep them away from cold drafts and heat vents.

Both of these plants prove that holiday color doesn’t have to be temporary. If you want tips, the perfect planter, or just reassurance you’re doing it right, our My Garden team is always happy to help.

Visit My Garden Nursery this week to find thoughtful gifts for plant lovers, hosts, and teachers, from blooming holiday plants and quality garden tools to stuffed rainbow sloths. Thank you for supporting your friends at My Garden Nursery on East Bakerview.

If you, your family or friends have been impacted by the floods or other difficult circumstances this year, we would like to gift you something simple—a wreath, a tree, a bit of garland, or a touch of green—to help make this Christmas feel a little brighter. Please let one of our team members know so we can share that with you.
