Variegated Schlumbergera 'Variegated Christmas Cactus'
Variegated Schlumbergera 'Variegated Christmas Cactus'
This festive trailing cactus has flat variegated cream and green stems and produces large white to red flowers that typically bloom in the Winter, giving this cactus its' name.
Easily propagated from offsets.
Hardy to Zone 10a (30° F). Schlumbergera will not survive a hard frost. However, cactus can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 30° F.
Schlumbergera Care: As with all cactus, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Cactus should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drainholes.
