@DryHeatBlog I read your blogs but I’m not a plant person (although I like to veggie garden). Think I might look for a Christmas cactus. Your instructions almost guarantee I won’t kill it. Good article, going to kill it tomorrow at work asking people if they own any Schlumbergera buckleyi.
"STOP CROWDING ME!" Exclaims Schlumbergera x buckleyi 'Beach Dancer'. Oversized, she's jockeyed for a position at South & West windows, then the already busy dining table (yes I eat there, too!) A knuckle dragger (some are more upright) I see a pedestal in her future. Cactaceae https://t.co/Lv0fF1lVKk
True christmas cactus (Schlumbergera × buckleyi) I got these cuttings from a facebook group last autumn https://t.co/YVt4mklSKd
SHOW GOES ON! Though a mild Winter overall, 2nd day in a row without going above 32°F/0°C had me looking a little closer to the dining table for color!Schlumbergera x buckleyi 'Beach Dancer' happily obliged! Pre Vernal Equinox, begin to watch for additional bud set.Cactaceae https://t.co/qlbsyUbOjB
I very much want a true old-fashioned Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera Buckleyi) for the top shelf on my wall. If anyone knows someone who has an old specimen that is like a family heirloom, who would be happy to swap some cuttings, please dm me! https://t.co/MAUbKK06HJ
@PMGilmartin @Khaph About half my 10 blooming now, 'Beach Dancer' pic 1 below, hasn't stopped since holidays. Yours possibly Schlumbergera x buckleyi, claws & zygomoporphy from S. truncata vary, claws less on 'Beach Dancer'. Can search on my handle + Schlumbergera for range of variance & threads. https://t.co/uM8IXhX948
ME NEXT! White flowered Schlumbergera x buckleyi NOID playing catch-up after half the plant lost midsummer '18 - I didn't pay attention to high water level in the cachepot. Tomato & white striped NOID a camera hog, in bloom more or less continuously since November. Cactaceae. https://t.co/MUohrCaURG

IT'S ALL A BLUR: Schlumbergera season, which in my collection of 10 began October, continues with S. x buckleyi 'Beach Dancer', still many more buds to open. Always latest to flower, though doesn't quite overlap the others' rebloom, which starts as days lengthen more. Cactaceae https://t.co/vGRTpK2qt2

@plantsofavalon @lynhappiness I have schlumbergera X Buckleyi yay https://t.co/EPP98KlZX4
Living up to its name: #ChristmasCactus. I’m surprised this #Schlumbergera x buckleyi #cutting is even blooming and on #ChristmasDay no less. #houseplants https://t.co/j4Ugi4fhK8
LATE OR ON TIME? Depends on how you look at Schlumbergera x buckleyi (Holiday Cactus) 'Beach Dancer', last of my 10 to bloom. Zygomorphic symmetry, clawed phylloclades favor S. truncata (Thanksgiving Cactus); season, shorter corolla? S. russelliana (Christmas Cactus). Cactaceae https://t.co/4NPCBQge79
WHO AM I? WHAT AM I? WHY AM I HERE? Chill, Schlumbergera x buckleyi 'Red Aspen'! Your opening flowers waver zygomoporphic like your S. truncata lineage, finish more radial, w/late bloom, like your S. russelliana ancestors. Your clawed phylloclades? S. truncata, not the milkman! https://t.co/UrpPtGC2Hw
Great image to illustrate here. To add into the confusion there's also Schlumbergera x buckleyi, which is very common and has traits of both S. truncata and S. bridgesii! But as stated in the comments here- Do you enjoy yours? That's the most important thing #Houseplants https://t.co/o6NDKjpRMA
@PMGilmartin @GardenEclectic Rob, your beauty is a Schlumbergera x buckleyi, commercially prevalent hybrids involving S. truncata (Thanksgiving/Crab Cactus - zygomoporphic flowers & clawed phylloclades) & S. russelliana (Christmas Cactus, radial flowers & smooth phylloclades). It has characteristics of both.
@PMGilmartin Beautiful plants - I have a small one and yes you're right it's a Schlumbergera truncata - the Easter cactus Schlumbergera buckleyi has more rounded edges on it's leaf segments - hope this helps
SUN THRU SILK: Schlumbergera x buckleyi 'Red Aspen' - in rebloom - carries even more buds than during the holidays! An attention-getter! Cactaceae https://t.co/MnHBygikrw
EVERY GRAY DAY needs a Schlumbergera, or a flock! As photoperiod mirrors pre-holiday length, N. Hemisphere S. x buckleyi rebloom! Cactaceae https://t.co/I1CGRq49G3
