Schlumbergera - Orange (Christmas Cactus)
Schlumbergera - Orange is a vibrant flowering cactus that produces bright, glowing orange blooms along its arching, segmented stems. Each flower opens with layered petals that create a soft, luminous flare of colour, bringing cheerful brightness to winter interiors when many plants are resting.
Perfect for living rooms, kitchens, or bright bedrooms, this Christmas Cactus thrives in warm, indirect light and enjoys regular moisture—very different from desert cacti. Its graceful trailing habit and long-lasting flowers make it ideal for shelves, hanging pots, or table displays.
- Other names: Christmas Cactus, Holiday Cactus, Schlumbergera truncata
- Useful to know: Non-toxic; generally safe for pets (mild stomach upset possible if ingested)
- Feature: Great air purifying plant
- Eventual height: Trails 30–40cm
- Origins: Coastal mountains of Brazil

Schlumbergera Care Sheet
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sun, especially in summer, as it may scorch the leaves
Water: Water thoroughly when the top of the soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly after flowering. Never allow the plant to stand in water
Soil/Nutrition: Use a well-draining mix, ideally cactus compost with added bark or perlite. Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced fertiliser; stop feeding in autumn before flowering
Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity. Mist lightly or place near other plants to maintain moisture in the air
Pruning and propagation: After flowering, pinch back stems to encourage branching. Propagate easily from stem segments rooted in soil
Experience level: Beginner
