Schlumbergera~ Christmas Cactus
|
The cacti typically sold as "Christmas Cacti" or "Zygocacti" are actually hybrids of Schlumbergera bridgesii and Schlumbergera truncata. These epiphytic cacti are native to rain forests of Brazil, where they hang from tall trees or cliffs like long spider forms in the shadows of the rainforest. Stems are comprised of short, flattened segments that grow upright at first, but then begin to drape gracefully. As a result of much hybridization, Zygocacti flowers occur in colors that include electric fuchsias or reds with white throats, metallic roses and purples; or pastels, such as apricot, gold, delicate rose, lavender or even a very frilly-edged pure white. |
