My Schlumbergera truncata bloomed profusely from mid-December 2022 until mid-January 2023. Usually that would be it until next year, but "she" surprised me with a second eruption of buds and is now flowering again! It is delightful to have the added flowering period since this month has been so cloudy and cold.
The end of the Cladodes split open from which the buds emerge.
These spots began to appear in late 2023. The cactus has been in the same pot for about 8-10 years. It receives full sun from an overhead sky light. It has drainage and is only watered when soil is dry and given liquid fertilizer occasionally.
Shot at Leeton. Native warm-season annual or short-lived perennial erect, hairless, tufted C4 grass usually less than 50 cm tall and forming a dense low crown; sometimes short stolons are present. Stems are unbranched and flattened, with a kneelike bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, with 6-9 widelyspreading branches, each 4-20 cm long. Spikelets are 2-flowered (sometimes 3), blunt-tipped and black when mature; the upper awn is much longer than the spikelet. Flowers from spring to autumn. Mostly found where ground cover is relatively low, such as along roadsides, in drier native pastures and heavily grazed situations. Native biodiversity. Readily colonises bare ground, areas subject to compaction and shallow soils. Relatively short-lived, it makes rapid growth after warm-season rain and provides a quick green pick; young growth is readily eaten, but becomes fibrous and unpalatable with age; productivity is low. Tolerant of set stocking and close grazing, it is better suited to sheep than cattle due to the low height of its foliage. Favoured by grazing systems that maintain low ground cover. It shows little response to increased fertility.
