Description
Commonly known as "Zygocactus", Schlumbergera perform best in bright, indirect sunlight with well-draining soil. They're suitable for hanging baskets, planters or in the ground. They work particularly well underplanted with taller plants where they can cascade over the edge of the pot. Schlumbergera will flower in cool weather. Feed with slow-release or liquid all-purpose fertiliser in Kambarang (Spring) and Bunuru/Djeran (Late Summer/Early Autumn.) Water moderately in hot weather, keep soil dryer in cool weather.
