Christmas Cactus

Schlumbergera

Description:

Schlumbergera is a small genus of cactus with six species from the coastal mountains of south-eastern Brazil. Plants grow on trees or rocks in habitats which are generally shady with high humidity and can be quite different in appearance from their desert-dwelling cousins. Most species of Schlumbergera have stems which resemble leaf-like pads joined one to the other and flowers which appear from areoles at the joints and tips of the stems. Wikipedia

Habitat:

Storefront landscape planter, Millbrae, CA.
