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\u2019ve 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\u2013I\u2019m 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\u2019t have many buds and seems unhappy with its wintering-over spot in the greenhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
