And there is still another one known as the Easter cactus, which blooms in the spring.

The Easter Cactus was at one time placed in Schlumbergera, but has flowers which are different in structure.

Growers can choose from a Thanksgiving cactus, a Christmas cactus or an Easter cactus.

The Easter Cactus is considered more difficult to grow than the Christmas or Thanksgiving Cactus (Schlumbergera).

Watering The Easter Cactus is said to respond badly to over- or under-watering, e.g. by losing stem segments; continuously moist soil is recommended.

Some Hatiora species are well known and widely cultivated ornamentals, known as Easter Cactus or Whitsun Cactus.

In horticultural sources, the Easter Cactus is still referred to as Schlumbergera gaertneri, as well as Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri.

Under the name Easter Cactus or Whitsun Cactus, Hatiora gaertneri is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant for its scarlet flowers.

(They also transferred the Easter Cactus - now Hatiora gaertneri - to Schlumbergera as S. gaertneri, initiating a lasting confusion between these two genera.)

Together with the hybrid with H. rosea, Hatiora xgraeseri, it is known as Easter Cactus or Whitsun Cactus and is a widely cultivated ornamental plant.

Less drought-resistant epiphytes, such as epiphyllum hybrids, Schlumbergera (the Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus) and Hatiora (the Easter cactus), are widely cultivated as houseplants.

The Easter Cactus or Whitsun Cactus is now placed in the genus Hatiora, but was at one time included in Schlumbergera (or one of its synonyms).

Hatiora gaertneri and its hybrid with H. rosea, H. x graeseri, are widely grown as ornamental houseplants under the common names Easter Cactus and Whitsun Cactus.

(The Easter Cactus or Whitsun Cactus, which may also be called a Holiday Cactus and has vivid scarlet flowers in the most commonly grown form, is now placed in the genus Hatiora.)
