Sweet Treat
A vibrant ring of Christmas cacti rests on a cake stand, ready to welcome guests. Once the flowers fade, prune the plants by pinching off a few sections of each stem with your fingers or a knife. More branches will grow, and thus more blooms will appear next holiday season.

A Fresh Spin
Chamaecyparis, white spruce, and two varieties of juniper make a wild and woolly evergreen wreath. The lime-green juniper develops a ruddy glow as the days grow shorter, adding a touch of color and cheer. This wreath requires at least six hours of sunlight each day. While some of these plants are dwarf varieties, even full-size plants will stay small when planted in a wreath.
