Leaves
1. Segmented Appearance: Christmas cactus leaves are flat, segmented, and slightly scalloped along the edges. They are typically dark green in color.
2. Texture: The leaves have a smooth texture and can sometimes appear glossy, especially when they are healthy and well-cared for.
3. Segmented Growth: New leaves emerge from the tips of each segment. As the plant grows, it forms a cascading or trailing structure, making it an attractive hanging plant.
Flowers
1. Bud Formation: Before blooming, Christmas cacti produce small, round buds at the tips of the segments. These buds gradually swell and develop over several weeks.
2. Color Variations: The flowers come in various colors including shades of pink, red, white, orange, and even purple. The exact color can vary based on the cultivar.
3. Blooming: When the buds mature, they open into large, showy flowers. Each flower has several petals radiating outward, giving it a star-like appearance.
