Schlumbergera ‘Bright Magenta’

R45,00

Schlumbergera ‘Bright Magenta’ is a striking unidentified (NOID) Zygocactus cultivar known for its vivid, jewel-toned flowers that range from bright to deep magenta.

Schlumbergera ‘Bright Magenta’ thrive in bright, indirect light and need well-draining soil that stays slightly moist but not soggy. They prefer moderate temperatures (6-28°C) and humidity, and benefit from a slightly acidic soil pH (5.5-6.2). 

Detailed Growing Conditions:
    • Light:
      Zygocactus prefer bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. They can tolerate some direct morning sun, but avoid exposing them to intense midday sun, as it can scorch the stems. 
    • Watering:
      Water when the top part of soil feels dry. Allow the soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot.
  • Humidity:
    They appreciate high humidity, but will survive in lower level of humidity. 
  • Temperature:
    Ideal temperatures range from 6 to 28°C. 
  • Soil:
    Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a mix of houseplant potting soil, coco peat and perlite or vermiculite. 
  • Fertilizing:
    Fertilize with a balanced, diluted organic fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). 
  • Flowering:
    Zygocactus flower in the autumn and winter, and to encourage blooming, they need a drier period and cooler temperatures in the late summer/early autumn.

Plants on offer: 8-10cm rooted. Shipped with pot and soil.
