Goodness, They look so beautiful with the green divider colour.I want to say that Christmas cactus is not dry spell tolerant. Water the plants completely and let them dry out between watering. Don't overlook it or slaughter it with consideration. The leaves will wrinkle if the dirt is excessively dry or when over watered which can prompt root decay. Water less in the winter.Happy Cheers!

I have two red Schlumbergeras, and they usually bloom before Christmas. They are easy to grow and give off amazing blooms. yours look amazing.

WOW. They look so beautiful with the green wall colour. Mine bloomed the beginning of November and sometimes they bloom again in April, but this strange blooming only started 4 years ago on very ancient plants I inherited from my mother. Previously they always bloomed for Christmas.
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous blooms.

I have the normal pink version, and I found a red, unnamed one at Whole Foods a couple of days ago. Love the newer colors. What would we do without great indoor-to-us plants and bulbs in winter? Thanks for sharing about this interesting genus.~~Dee

Oh, they are so pretty. It's a good year for Schlumbergera. My white bloomed and reds bloomed, pink is starting bloom. Yellow and peach are slower. All get the same treatment more or less.
