Schlumbergera truncata, syn. Zygocactus.
I put the plant outside to get a better picture of the flower color. Just starting to bloom.
Flor-de-Maio.
Schlumbergera truncata (Haw.) Moran.
Família: Cactaceae.
Floração de julho de 2012 – Inverno.
Planta da minha querida mãe(97).
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 knee-like bend near their base. Flowerheads are digitate, usually with 6-9 branches 4-20 cm long. Mostly found along roadsides and in native pastures where groundcover and fertility are relatively low; rarely abundant. Readily colonises bare ground and areas subject to compaction or shallow soils. Native biodiversity. Of little significance for grazing, it has low to moderate quality and low productivity. 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 groundcover. It has little response to fertiliser inputs.
truncata hybrid, small pot shows same plant separated and given more water and heat then the one in the red bonsai pot.. (found the leaf rooting while replanting the little plant deeper.)
It's so exciting getting new plants in the mail. I love it. I'm very excited about this one. My first truncata and it's a special one that looks like it will be orange as an adult. I hope it will turn into a monster like they say they do.
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.

Though a bit late this is a 'Thanksgiving cactus' (Schlumbergera truncata) not a 'Christmas cactus' (Schlumbergera bridgesii) as it is often called. The flowers should be either white or peach colored.
