    Hi there, can you please help me out with the name of this plant some I can find out how to care for it properly? Thank you!

    Answer

    Dear siobhanlouisedoyle, you have provided images of two different plants. The one with the segmented, pinkish foliage is a Christmas cactus (genus Schlumbergera), species of cultivated plants native to South America. There is a lot of information on the web about growing this species, so it should be easy for you to learn what you need. Best wishes.
