The Landscaper

Schlumbergera (shlum-Ber-ger-uh) or Christmas Cactus

Is a fun and quite easy cacti to propagate.
Simply remove a section at the joint, dip the bottom in a rooting/hormone solution and plant in a sandy soil. Bury it down in the soil a quarter of it's length deep.
Place the container in a well lit area with indirect sunlight (not too bright) and keep the soil evenly moist.
The cutting will show signs of new growth with in 2 or 3 weeks.

I recommend planting the cutting in a nice Bonsai container and trim it occasionally to give it an interesting shape and growth pattern.

This is a great plant to share with friends, family or other members of your local garden club.

Please feel free to ask any questions.
Enjoy!
