Hello, everyone!
Can you have comfort in a house without plants? I don't think so. Flowers are pleasing to the eye and create a special joyful, I would say festive atmosphere in the house. Especially if they are flowering plants.
Schlumbergera is a beautiful plant which is suitable for any home! This plant amazes me and delights me every year
You probably know what Sources reports about the flower:
Zygocactus came to Europe 205 years ago (1816) from the rainforests of southeastern Brazil. The flower got its name in 1858 - Schlumbergera after a French breeder.
In the natural environment (Southern Hemisphere) zygocactus blooms in summer. In the indoor environment (Northern Hemisphere), plants bloom in the natural calendar (November, December, January). Hence the folk name of the plant, "Christmas Cactus." Although my cactus is awake now, in February 2022. He probably adapted to the new climate.
Oh, yes! It' s blooming! I took a picture today.
And so the zygothocactus bloomed in November 2021.
I've had a slumberberry growing for a few years now. Maybe 10 years now. And every year it delights in its blooms with amazing bright colors!
My mother-in-law gave me this bright scarlet flower.
A few years ago a friend of mine gave me a cuttings of a flower with 3 segments. Schlumbergera blooming with white flowers. Grew it myself!
Schlumbergera is unpretentious, I have not had much trouble growing it. Although in recent years flowers appear at different times of the year.
In summer the plants are on the terrace, in a well-lit place. In late autumn, I return the plant to the house, on the window sill shady side. During the growing season require sufficient moisture, and after flowering I reduce watering. I water when the top layer of soil in the pot dries up
Enjoy!
