Everything you need to know about origin and care of this plant! But, as mentioned with proper care, these succulents can bloom more than once a year. Schlumbergeras thrive in the mountainous jungles of Brazil and shady areas of cliffs and rock outcrops. They donβt have true leaves, but their round and flat stems are often confused with leaves. Young plants can have an upright form, but as they mature, they tend to droop and become pendant-like. These succulents will generally grow up to 10 inches (25.4 cm) in height and 24 inches (60cm) in diameter. The hanging branches of the Schlumbergera are flat, glossy, and green and they can grow up to 36 inches long. The flowers bloom at the tip of these branches, have several tiers of flowers, and are about 3 inches long. Their flowers are tubular and have a flower-within-a-flower aspect. The Schlumbergera is a low-maintenance plant that thrives in average home conditions. This succulent doesnβt mind low light environments, but it produces blooms only when exposed to indirect bright light. Since it is a coastal plant the Schlumbergera accepts more humidity than other succulents and cacti do and it requires extended periods of darkness to begin its flowering process. This plant will usually bloom just in time for the winter holidays and its flowers are red IN COLOR. The flowering period of the Schlumbergera spans over several weeks and the flowers last for a few days. It is worth mentioning that direct sunlight can burn the leaves of the Christmas cactus, so if you want to keep it outdoors, make sure it gets partial shade. The perfect temperature for Schlumbergeras ranges between 60 and 70Β°F (15-21Β°C). By the end of the flowering season (usually six to eight weeks before the next flowering period), cactus needs to become dormant. During this period, the plant needs less humidity, a cooler environment (50-55Β°F/10-12Β°C), and less light (12-14 hours of darkness).
