'Tis the season for...Schlumbergera, which are known as Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter Cactus. (Note: Easter Cactus has been moved to a number of different genera, but recently landed back in with Schlumbergera although there seems to be some discussion putting it into Hatiora again. (Throws hands up in air)).
While I was at Logee's Greenhouses in Dainelson, CT, I thought I would do a video on Schlumbergera Care & Propagation with Byron Martin, the co-owner of Logee's Greenhosues. This video highlights this jungle cactus's care, propagation, pruning, lighting, watering, pitfalls, and more. More Logee's videos to come!

BTW, we're not finished with "Three Months of Thailand", but I wanted to run this video sooner rather than later because 'tis the season for Schlumbergera! Hope you don't mind a little break in Thailand plant videos! :)

I have a Schlumbergera that is at least 140 years old. It came to Idaho in a Buckboard and lived in Central Idaho with my Grandmother. Then my mother got it and she gave it to me when I was 20. It had been raised in coffee cans for as long as I can remember, and I'm 74. In 2000 I had it in my yard when a wind came up and blew a tree down. It was 120 feet long and that tree cut my Christmas Cactus in two. My daughter has the other half. It is in a 12 inch pot right now and really needs repotted. Both halves need repotted. It is draped in pink flowers for months in December, January and February. Really a pretty plant.

Byron is great and a good debunker of plant myths. He also has the perfect voice for horticultural talk radio!

Ahh, I love my Schlumbergera. I don't know how old mine is, but my mom inherited it from my late grandmother when I was about 1, so the plant must be at least 24 years old. My mom hated the plant because it would never flower for her, so she intended to throw it away, but I but a stop to that. So I have been taking care of this beauty since I was about 12 or something. Last year it almost died on me because I was unaware that the soil had become so compact that it was suffocating the roots. It took it out of the pot and gave it fresh soil, with a lot of perlite, but the root system was so small, I really thought it was not going to make it. This would have been devastating for me since it was one of the few thing I have from my grandmother and this one was a living organism. But luckily, it did not only survive, but it thrived in summer, and now it has about 14 flower buds. I am always amazed by the life-force a plant can have, so cool

Byron is so nice ! He explains in a way that everybody would understand, has such a beautiful soothing energy plus we can feel his passion and love towards plants. Love it !

I took cuttings from one of my grandmother's plants so many years ago - I love it and the sentimental feelings attached to it.

Love Logee's videos on plant care; very straightforward and reliable plant care tips. Nice combination of personalities here!! Thanks!!

Last year my grandfather gave me cuttings from his Christmas cactus (which is over 15 years old). This year, my small one is all budded up and ready to bloom!

Thank you for this post. Many years ago, I was given a pot containing Thanksgiving Cactus with a wide variety of different colours. I keep in my bedroom with a South facing window which during our harsh Calgary winters, I keep the blinds drawn to keep the light and cold to a minimum. Over the years I have been fortunate not only to make them flower but also to have new pots made from their cuttings. I have used Mr. Martin's RU-vid vlogs for help & advice on general care.

Excellent video Summer. This cactus is so timeless. My grandmother had one for over 50 years which my aunt inherited. They are lovely, easy-care and everyone should have a few in my opinion. I found one with a peachy-yellow colour last year and it's blooming right now. The info about putting it somewhere cooler is very helpful. I've never had one not bloom. They're so reliable :).

Amazing!!! I adopted one last week. It had Beautiful bright orange flowers. Thank you for posting this video. Right on time.

Nice video! Lots of good information, nice pacing, you hit all the highlights without getting bogged down in details or rambling. Very well done.

I just got one as a birthday present, I'm so happy to see it bloom.

My husband’s Aunt Peggy is 100 years old. About 20 or even 25 years ago she gave me a Christmas one from starts of her plant that her mother, my husband’s grandmother had. I am actually starting some cuttings off of my plant to just make sure I never lose it... it blooms faithfully. I have a northern covered porch it loves in the summer time. And a northern window in the rest of the year or in a room that has a western 4’x5’ window and it sits on a plant bench across the room. Wonderful plants!

That tree in the back has NUTS!

Wow thank you so much Summer for this video, I love all of the Schlumbergera that I have and it's around 8 plants, one is over 25 years old, it was my mother's, and four are over 15 years old, the rest are 5 years old and less than a year. They are so much fun, and every year they flower with me hardly doing anything special. They all have so much sentiment attached to them especially the one that use to be my mother's, when I look at it I am reminded how much she loved it, and now I love it that much as well. Thank you so much Summer for sharing this plant, tis the season for sure.
