Cactus Christmas trees are a thing

Are you in or out? - by Diana Moore

We’re loving all thing Palm Springs – whether it’s pink sofas, vintage hotels or renovated caravans.

With the trend extending to our gardens and indoor plants, the humble cactus is making a play for the role of Christmas tree in many homes, with some delicately placed tinsel and baubles adorning these spikey succulents.

Here’s a round up of our favourites on Instagram.

About as Christmas as we're getting this year. After decorating everyone else's not in the mood at home. #cactuschristmastree #asholidayasitgets #tistheseason🎄 #stampercollection #vegaschristmas

We're pretty proud of our California Christmas Cactus. We named him Norbert and we're in love. We're still looking for the perfect pot but this festive butcher paper will do for now! #cactuschristmastree #imstartingthetrend #merrychristmas

Because it's so frickin hot in England and Ireland today, I thought I'd go looking for hot Christmas trees and found this cactus! I may make a cactus Christmas tree now for the summer 😂😂 #itssohot #cactuschristmastree #fiesta #hotasfudge #ciarashad3showerstoday
