Meet Schlumbergera Orange Flowered—the soft jungle cactus with warm orange seasonal flowers. Unlike desert cacti, this one has segmented arching stems and rewards settled care with bright flowering colour. Stylish, unusual and full of character, she is a brilliant choice for adding something special to the plant shelf.

  • The Formal Name: Schlumbergera Orange Flowered
  • The Nickname: Orange Christmas Cactus
  • Roots: An epiphytic cactus descended from plants that grow on trees and rocks in humid Brazilian forests.
  • Natural Vibe: Bright indirect light, free drainage and slightly cooler nights to help buds form.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright indirect light is ideal, with gentle morning or evening sun only.
  • Best Room: A bright windowsill away from hot radiators shows off the flowers well.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly while growing and budding.
  • Tropical Feels: Average home humidity is fine, though avoid very dry heat.
  • Cosy Factor: Cooler nights can help encourage buds, but keep frost-free.
  • Thirst: Water when the top of the mix dries, keeping it a little drier after flowering.
  • Safety First: Pet-friendly leaning – still best kept away from nibbling pets, but generally a safer choice than aroids.
  • The Bedding: Use a free-draining cactus/epiphyte mix rather than heavy compost.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from short stem segments once flowering has finished.
  • Space Needs: Let the segmented stems arch naturally over the pot.
  • Speed: Steady and long-lived with seasonal flushes of flowers.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybug tucked into stem joints.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed; they flower well when slightly snug.
  • Haircut: Twist off segments to shape after flowering.
  • Fresh Air: A colourful seasonal cactus that is softer and thirstier than desert cacti.
  • Plant Lore: Schlumbergera are jungle cacti, so they like more moisture and shade than desert cacti.
