Schlumbergera truncata

Care Guide

Light

• Bright indirect light is best
• Avoid strong direct sun (can burn leaves)

Water

• Water when top soil is dry
• Typically: Every 1–2 weeks (normal conditions)
• Do NOT overwater → can cause root rot

Temperature

• Ideal: 18°C – 24°C
• Avoid:
  • Cold drafts
  • Strong aircon wind

Soil

• Use well-draining soil (cactus or mix with perlite)
• Should hold some moisture but not stay soggy

Fertilizer

• Feed lightly: Once a month (growing season)
• Stop feeding during flowering

Bonus (Flowering Tip)

To make it bloom:

• Give 12–14 hours darkness daily
• Slightly cooler temperature
  ➡️ This triggers flower buds

Common Issues

• Leaves soft / droopy → overwatering
• Leaves turning red → too much sun
• No flowers → not enough darkness / wrong temperature
