Schlumbergera Spp.Schlumbergera spp.

Water Schlumbergera thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during their dormant period in late summer and early autumn to encourage blooming.

Prune Schlumbergera after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch off the stem segments at the joints.

This also helps to prevent the plant from becoming leggy and can be used for propagation purposes.

Propagate Schlumbergera by stem cuttings. Take 2-3 segmented cuttings and allow them to callus over for a few days before planting them in a well-draining potting mix.

Keep the soil slightly moist and provide bright, indirect light.

Repot Schlumbergera every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. Repot in early spring before the active growing season begins.
