The Christmas Cactus is a tropical plant native to South America, known for its colorful, long-lasting blooms. Its low-maintenance care makes it a favorite for indoor gardens.

The Norfolk Island Pine, native to the South Pacific, features soft, symmetrical foliage perfect for decorating as a miniature Christmas tree. This evergreen thrives in full sun or bright, indirect light and prefers dry soil between waterings.

Both plants are shipped in 4-inch pots with decorative covers, making them ready to display or gift. The Christmas Cactus color will vary, offering a surprise splash of seasonal beauty. This duo is perfect for holiday gifting, festive décor, or adding a touch of greenery to your home.
