description_en: Genus of about 6 species of bushy, epiphytic or rock-dwelling, perennial cacti from tropical rainforest in S.E. Brazil, cultivated for their attractive flowers. Erect then pendent, fleshy stems are divided into flattened, oblong or obovate, normally truncate, leaf-like segments, usually with marginal, often prominent notches, almost tooth-like in some species. The areoles often have a few fine bristles; those near the tips of the upper segments bear open trumpet-shaped, narrow-petalled flowers, most in late winter and early spring, others in summer or autumn. Where temperatures fall below 10°C (50°F), grow Christmas cacti as houseplants, or in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In warmer areas, they are suitable for growing in a raised bed in a courtyard garden.
