Schlumbergera in different colors in a ceramic bowl Bowl Stone
The Schlumbergera is originally from Brazil, where it grows in the trees. In the fall, this plant prefers to stand in a cool, bright room (at a minimum of 12ºC) and only bring it inside when the buttons appear. Giving little water, also during to bloom. In the winter it can protect it in the sun and more in the summer. This respect differs the Christmas trick from the Lidcactus (Schlumbergera Truncatum), which is also called Christmas cactus because it blooms around Christmas. While there used to be only one color variety for sale, the numerous hybrids now offer a wide color palette. The species is part of a group of epiphytic cacti. These are cacti that grow on trees in nature without extracting food from it. They therefore need little to survive. On the contrary, if we want to be sure of good button formation and a rich flowering, then they have to be put in a cool place in a drying rod. For three months they hardly receive a few water drops. They only gradually get more water when the first buttons appear. At the same time they move to a warmer place. After flowering, they are restored again.
The best tips to take care of your plant:
Lots of light, not in the bright sun. Keep moist, potting soil should not dry out. Fertilize once a month. Remove faded flowers. Blooms several times a year. Multi -year plant.
