Schlumbergera, commonly called Christmas cactus, is native to the jungles of southern Brazil. CC's are prized for their beautiful flowers that make you say 'WOW'! A true statement of their durability, many enjoy their Christmas cactus for 15 or more years in the home.
Care: CC's are easy to grow. Provide bright, indirect light in the home. (CC can spend the summers outdoors - late May through September) in bright but never direct sunlight. It's best to allow soil to dry ever-so-slightly between waterings (soil should never be bone dry or soggy wet). A word to the wise: Don't place it in areas where there are drafts or fluctuations in temperature. Fertilize with Blossom-Booster during the growing season (March - October) but not when it's in bud and bloom.
Beautiful Christmas cacti have arrived - in bud and bloom - at Martin Viette.

Imagine somewhere on the other side of the world, a group of U.S. troops gathered around a fresh, real Christmas tree that was express shipped from the states. Or imagine how a military family of a deployed loved one would feel if they received a real Christmas tree, given by a caring family they have never met. This is the mission of "Trees for Troops", a national charitable campaign run by the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, that provides real Christmas trees to members of the armed forces and their families at more than 60 military bases in the U.S. and overseas. Since 2005 more than 139,000 real Christmas trees have been provided to troops and military families.
This year, come to Martin Viette Nurseries now through November 30, to donate a beautiful 6-8 foot Balsam Fir tree to a military family. For only $29.50, your donated tree will be shipped by FedEx to one of over 60 military bases across the country and overseas. A gift card with your Christmas wish or message of gratitude will accompany your tree.
Can't make it to our store? You can donate a tree by phone or online! Simply call 516 922-5530 (9am to 6pm daily) and donate using a credit card or online at: www.martinviette.com . Donations are tax deductible, plus for every tree donated, Martin Viette donates $5 to the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation.
