The Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii) is a holiday staple, beloved for its vibrant, tubular flowers that bloom just as the world outside turns grey. Unlike desert-dwelling cacti, these are tropical epiphytes native to Brazilian rainforests, meaning they have unique needs that often surprise new owners.
Nothing ruins the vibe of a lush indoor jungle faster than a cloud of gnats or a stray mosquito. While most people reach for chemical sprays, many are turning to a more natural approach: functional greenery. Using specific houseplants to deter insects is a practical way to enhance your home’s air quality while keeping pests at bay.
Creating a refined living space is about more than just high-end furniture and curated art; it is about bringing life and texture into your home through nature. For the discerning homeowner, the right greenery acts as a living sculpture, enhancing architectural lines and softening modern aesthetics.
