How's the search going? Have you found any of the 8 you were missing?

Hi Shane :) Curious to know how your variegated Schlumbergeras are doing? I have been toying with the idea of trying one myself , but from what I have read they can be pretty unstable ( reverting) and less than hardy..? I'd definitely recommend it. Mine aren't doing great, but honestly that's more ...

I did a few updates today, adding some info here and there and cleaning up some wording, etc. Thanks to Pereskiopsisdotcom for providing information about freezing temperatures. I'm still learning and will update the guide as I learn more. I also became aware today there are three generally accepted...

Yes, mine dealt exclusively indoors. As a Canadian, the outdoor season is limited and at the time I lived in an apartment so had no other choice but budget indoor lighting. Callousing was a reflection on the short and thin cuttings that were being sold here in Canada at the time. The same with root...

Here's what it looks like now. I went ahead and bought it so I could observe what that spot turns into. Looks like monstrose growth to me
