CHRISTMAS CACTUS
Right now your schlumbergera will be in its element – so-named the Christmas cactus due to flowering indoors during autumn and winter with a glorious covering of pink, red or white frilly flowers – just what us gardeners need to see right now! They need very well-drained soil, a light moistening occasionally and a tidy once in a blue moon. Not sure how old yours is – the one that’s been sat in the corner for ages? Many have been known to last 60 years or more! This is another easily propagated plant – simply snap off one of its leaf parts and pot it up – you’ll soon notice it growing.
