I struggle with jungle cactus in the greenhouse. I can get them to grow and survive but they never seem to look as good as similar plants I’ve seen in offices and homes. My Day 8 plant is a jungle cactus (maybe a Schlumbera x bucklei hybrid) that I inherited when some neighbors moved to the east coast and left some plants behind. It just appeared one day around the time they left–I’m guessing maybe seven years ago. It is a good, well-established plant and it has rewarded me with some lovely blooms several times. This year, though, it doesn’t have many buds and seems unhappy with its wintering-over spot in the greenhouse.
In past years, though, it has looked like this:
My plans for this plant in 2020 include repotting it into fresh soil/bark mix and fertilizing it regularly so I’ll get a more robust show of flowers in March of 2021!
