Zygo Cactus Livia - Flowering Indoor Plant

Zygo Cactus Livia (Schlumbergera truncata 'Livia') - Decorative indoor plant

Zygo Cactus Livia is a stunning flowering easy care houseplant  that brings elegant colour to your home during the cooler months. This beautiful cultivar is admired for its large white blooms, often developing delicate pink to purple tones as the flowers mature. Its graceful arching stems and long-lasting flowers make it an excellent choice for bright indoor spaces, covered patios, or shaded outdoor entertaining areas.

Unlike desert cacti, this tropical epiphytic cactus naturally grows in the rainforest regions of Brazil, where it thrives in filtered light and higher humidity. Its compact, cascading growth habit makes it ideal for decorative pots, shelves, plant stands, and hanging baskets. With the right care, it produces an impressive floral display year after year and is suitable for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Whether you're adding colour to your indoor plant collection or looking for a thoughtful gift, Zygo Cactus Livia is a rewarding and easy-care choice.

Want your plant with a pot?

This plant is available in 100 mm and 130 mm nursery pots, so those sizes are a helpful guide when choosing a decorative pot for your home. We usually ship plants bare root to maintain freshness and help reduce freight costs, but we're happy to pot your plant on request.

Care Guide

Light

Place in a bright position with indirect light or gentle morning sun. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh afternoon sun, especially during Australia's warmer months.

Watering

Water when the top few centimetres of the potting mix become dry. During active growth, keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Reduce watering after flowering while the plant is resting.

Soil

Use a quality free-draining potting mix suitable for epiphytic cacti or indoor plants. Good drainage helps maintain healthy roots.

Temperature

Best grown in mild conditions and protected from frost. Suitable for indoor growing throughout Australia or outdoors in a sheltered, frost-free position.

Feeding

Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Reduce feeding during winter.
