I’ve seen Christmas cacti also referred to as Thanksgiving cacti.
Poinsettias will last year-round but getting them to bloom again requires putting them in a dark space while still providing water. They are a nice green plant and can even be planted outside in summer. After all, they’re easy enough to find again with the red bracts showing off for Christmas.
I have a Christmas cactus that blooms every year at Thanksgiving.
I believe they are slightly different varieties with the Thanksgiving strain blooming a bit earlier.
