The flowering spring cactus is also known as the Easter cactus (Rhipsalidopsis or Hatiora). Easter cacti have an appearance and habits and require care similar to other holiday cacti.
Basic Care
Flowering spring cacti require a great deal of light. The plants should be allowed to dry out between waterings. According to the University of Missouri Extension, holiday cacti are relatively pest and disease free.
Features
Easter cacti offer flowers in yellow, pink, peach, white or red. The plants have segmented stems with small spines at the joints of the stems. According to the Clemson Cooperative Extension, the plants flower at the stem joints and ends.
Flowering
Spring cacti can be induced to flower by exposing the plants to cool temperatures and less light, followed by a transition to warmer temperatures and light for longer durations, according to Greenhouse Product News website. Greenhouses tend to induce flowering for sales during the months of March and April, the website additionally notes.
