Zygocactus Schlumbergera 'Sunset Dancer' 100mm Pot

Schlumbergera truncata

Dancer series

Many of the Zygocactus hybrids on the market are bred for their large flower but not for performance or hardiness. The Dancer series from Holland has been selected due to their hardiness and free-flowering ability making them easy to grow and reflower in most climates.

Position - under protected partially-shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will not flower well and become more open in growth.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for short periods and remain compact when dry or hungry.

Feeding - recommended dosage monthly in growing period but withhold food and reduce watering from February to force plants to stop growing and produce more flower buds for Autumn.

Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
