Schlumbergera 'Orange Flame' (Orange Christmas) 2pp

Schlumbergera, also known under the popular names of "Christmas tree", "Don't bother me" or "Christmas cactus", is a succulent epiphytic plant that comes from the mountainous regions of Brazil. It is highly appreciated for its spectacular flowers that usually appear during the winter holidays. Here are some tips for caring for this plant:
Light: Schlumbergera prefers indirect light and can tolerate even low light conditions. Avoid strong direct light, which can burn the leaves.
Watering: During the growth and flowering period, keep the soil moist, but not soaked. Reduce watering after the plant has bloomed and during the rest period. It is essential to have well-drained soil to prevent root rot.
Humidity: This plant prefers a moderate humidity and can benefit from occasional spraying with water, especially in dry air conditions.
Temperature: Schlumbergera prefers moderate temperatures, between 15-22 degrees Celsius. To stimulate flowering, you can expose the plant to lower temperatures (but not below 10 degrees Celsius) for a few weeks before the desired flowering period.
Fertilization: You can use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted according to the instructions, during the growth period. Suspend fertilization during the rest period.
Repotting: Repotting is best done after the flowering period, but is usually only necessary when the plant has become too big for its pot.
