- White;
- Orange;
- Raspberry;
- Coral.
History of a flower
The Decembrist originally came to us from the tropical forests of Southern Brazil. So he likes to struggle on fallen trees or other plants not high above the ground.
This forest cactus receives its nutrients with the help of its leaf segments, absorbing light and moisture from the environment.
Quite a lot of time has passed, but the flowers remember their biological homeland, and therefore they bloom at the beginning of winter.
Important! For good growth The Decembrist needs to create for him the biological rhythm of his homeland and then annual flowering will be guaranteed.

- Ripsadolis, in the photo, sparva blooms in April.
The appearance differs in the structure of the flower, Schlumbergera blooms with a flower consisting of three layers of petals emerging from one another. And thanks to its winter flowering, it is called the Decembrist or Christmas cactus.
Ripsadolis blooms with a single-tiered flower resembling a daisy around mid-spring and people also call it the Easter cactus. Since its flowering occurs on Orthodox Easter.
Therefore, the flowering of the Decembrist in April will mean only one thing: that the gardener has bloomed ripsadolis on the windowsill, since behind it there was a corresponding proper care.

Conclusion
If you properly care for this delicate flower, then during the winter cold it will give its love to the gardener and delight him with its beautiful blooms.
Many novice gardeners are convinced that a cactus is a prickly “pet” that loves the sun and is afraid of excess moisture. But beautiful flower the Decembrist is able to destroy these established ideas and prejudices.
Where did this strange name come from? How difficult is it to achieve flowering? How should a popular plant be cared for? What superstitions accompany its cultivation? Our article will tell you about all this and much more.
The generally accepted name of the flower is zygocactus. There is also another botanical name - Schlumbergera. It was awarded in honor of the French scientist Frederick Schlumberger, who was the discoverer of this variety of cacti.
In Russia, the plant is called the Decembrist or Rozhdestvennik because of its peculiarity of producing bright inflorescences in winter frosts. December and January blooms are due to the fact that in nature zygocactus blooms in the middle of summer, which in South American latitudes coincides with the Russian winter.
At first, Schlumbergera had exclusively red flowers. However, after breeding work florists were able to grow plants with pinkish, white, lilac, and yellow clusters. More recently, the Decembrist variety appeared on the market, in which flowers of different colors coexist.
This beautiful tropical South American plant is an epiphytic cactus. IN natural nature it grows on the root formations or trunks of Brazilian trees, forming real armfuls of flowers on hanging stems.
In general, the natural growth conditions of the Decembrist look as follows.
- Cacti are constantly in a semi-shaded environment (due to the fact that they grow under the canopy of trees). Naturally, this cannot but affect their cautious attitude towards direct sunlight.
- Schlumbergera are located on branches or roots, therefore, the requirements for soil composition are minimal. The plant does not need a rich complex of various micro- and macroelements and other useful substances.
- Since zygocactus grows in the humid climate of tropical forests, it is necessary to provide appropriate conditions in the room where the container with the plant will be placed.
As can be understood from the above, Decembrist is significantly different from “classic” cacti. Accordingly, it is necessary to provide favorable care for the plant, taking into account certain conditions and requirements. If everything is done correctly, the tropical guest will delight you with flowering for decades.
Plant species
In total, several species of Schlumbergera have been discovered. But there are very, very many hybrids and plant varieties. And this list is constantly growing due to the appearance of new copies. But we will list only the most basic varieties of Decembrist.
- Schlumbergera truncatus (truncated). The growth of an adult plant reaches half a meter. The stalks are long (up to 300 mm) and consist of several segments with pronounced teeth. flowering plant completely covered with clusters of flowers of white, pinkish, lilac or violet color. In their place, small fruits of a bright red hue are subsequently formed.
- Schlumbergera bucklei (bucklei). This zygocactus is less tall than the previous Decembrist variety. The stems are branched, dark green, shiny. There are no spines, instead there is a light edge. Flowers are large – up to 80 mm, different shades. You can purchase yellow varieties of this variety of Christmas tree.
- Schlumbergera Russelliana (Russelliana). Small cactus up to 300 mm in height. The stems are well developed, without spines, divided into flattened, shiny segments. The plant is grown in hanging pots, since the shoots can reach a length of 100 cm. The flowers are large, their color can be reddish, pinkish, carmine or purple.
- Schlumbergera gaertneri (Gertner). This zygocactus is quite large. The stem segments alone can reach 60-70 mm in length. Main feature This type of Decembrist has huge buds that resemble bells with pointed petals. The color of the flowers is bright red with an orange tint.
- Schlumbergera opuntioides (prickly pear). As the name suggests, the plant is very similar to prickly pear, that is, a cactus. The stem segments are very fleshy and covered with spines. During the flowering period (early spring), this variety of Decembrist is also covered with pink-violet buds.
If you want to please yourself with more daring and unusual varieties of Schlumbergera, then start growing hybrid varieties. The most popular include Madonna Dance, Madama Butterfly, Pasadena, Golden Cream. The beauty of their flowers will amaze all lovers of house plants.
This indoor flower quite unpretentious in care. But from compliance important rules and principles will depend on how intensely the plant blooms and how long your green “pet” will stand on the windowsill. Let's look at the aspects of care in more detail.
Lighting
The epiphytic cactus prefers bright and at the same time diffused lighting. Optimal conditions– places next to windows facing east or northeast. But the south side doesn't count ideal solution. But if it is not possible to achieve a diffuse light regime, then the flower is shaded.
During the period of budding and active flowering, the container with Schlumbergera should not be turned or even moved. Otherwise, the plant will get rid of the flowers. But when it retires, you can and should regularly unwrap the pot so that the stems turn green evenly.
Humidity and temperature
Decembrist is extremely tenacious and unpretentious to temperature conditions. A houseplant will withstand 35-degree heat and a drop in temperature to + 2 without any special physical and moral losses. However, there are also optimal performance this parameter is +18-25 degrees. It is under such conditions that the flower feels especially comfortable.
In order for the zygocactus to bloom especially intensively and delight others with its bright greenery, experts advise placing it in a cooler place (no higher than +16 degrees) in September-November. But just before flowering, it is moved to a warm place to form beautiful and healthy buds.
The tropical guest is not afraid of drafts. Therefore, in the summer months, a pot with zygocactus can be taken out to open balcony for ventilation or even take it with you to the dacha. The only condition is not to expose the flower to direct sunlight.
Schlumbergera, unlike “classic” cacti, loves high humidity air. This is why the plant needs to constantly have a shower with a spray bottle: hot weather– several times a week, in winter – 1-2 times every 30 days.
Watering
Proper care of zygocactus also includes adherence to the watering regime. The latter is conventionally divided into 3 periods, each of which differs in certain nuances and aspects.
- Bloom. During these months (December-February) the plant requires frequent, but moderate watering. You can tell that a flower wants to “drink” when the soil dries 1-3 centimeters deep. At the same time, it is strictly forbidden to fill the pot, otherwise the cactus will simply begin to rot, especially if the room is cool enough.
- D about and after flowering. To begin the formation of buds, the intensity of watering is reduced. Some gardeners generally sharply limit the moisture of the flower in order to redirect its forces not to stemming, but to budding. In the period after flowering (March-early summer), you should adhere to the same watering regime as during flowering.
- Hot time of year. In summer, the plant goes dormant, so water it when the soil substrate is almost completely dry. But we should not forget about spraying, or rather, about the shower. To do this, move the pot to the bathroom and direct the jets directly onto the leaves and stems. At this moment the soil should be covered with a plastic bag.
Do not water the delicate plant with tap water. It contains a huge amount of chlorine and calcium compounds that are harmful to the home cactus. Make sure to use settled boiled water for irrigation.
Under natural conditions, most nutrients Zygocactus receives from the tree on which it grows. And this is a rather modest “diet”, so it is generally accepted that the Decembrist is indifferent to vitamin and mineral supplements.
And yet, you can and should feed Schlumbergera, if, of course, you want to enjoy longer flowering. To do this, it is worth purchasing cactus fertilizers containing nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus compounds in certain proportions.
From March to August, when the Decembrist flower fades and begins intensive stemming, the plant is fed twice a month. Please note that the dosage must be taken 2 times less than what is written in the instructions. After all, the Christmas tree, as we have already said, is different from its prickly counterparts.
Transfer
Decembrist flower is not a very capricious plant, however, it also needs a transplant. Moreover, the younger the zygocactus, the more often it needs to be moved to another landing capacity. But an adult pet no longer needs annual transplant procedures - one transplant within a five-year period is enough for him.
This procedure is carried out after the flowering period - at the beginning of spring, so that by December the plant will be fully rooted, gain strength and prepare for the formation of buds. If you are behind on time, it is better to postpone the transplant until next year.
For planting, purchase a shallow but wide container. Its diameter is 2 cm larger than the previous pot. This ratio must be maintained if the Christmas tree is grown as an ampel (hanging) flower.
It is highly advisable to make small holes in the planting container for drainage and excess liquid to flow out. Otherwise, the roots of the plant may rot under conditions of excess moisture.
As for the soil, it should be relatively fertile, light, lush, permeable to air and water. The acidity level is weak. You can buy such soil in a store (labeled “For succulents” or “For cacti”), but it is better to make it yourself.
For this you will need:
- 1 part turf;
- 1 part sand;
- 2 parts leaf soil;
- ½ part of crushed coal;
- ½ part crushed brick;
- a little bit wood ash(for disinfection).
A drainage layer (one third of the total volume) is placed at the bottom of the landing tank. Then the soil is poured out, and after that the extracted plant is placed. Rotten roots must first be removed. That's it, the flower is ready for life in a new pot!
Trimming
Caring for a flower correctly means trimming it regularly, or rather, pinching it. This clarification is important because the removal of unsightly, painful or spoiling appearance cutting of stems occurs manually, without the use of scissors. To create a beautiful crown and ensure more abundant flowering, you need to unscrew the excess shoots using rotating movements.
Typically, the pinching procedure is carried out immediately after the flowering of a home cactus. But some gardeners skip this period and prune at the beginning of summer, combining it as necessary with the propagation of Schlumbergera.
Zygocactus is so beautiful at the moment of flowering that many owners have a desire to propagate it and place bright pots throughout the house. As we said above, you can combine this process with pruning a green bush.
The simplest and most common way to obtain a new plant is cuttings. In this case, the following sequence of actions must be observed.
- Using circular movements, disconnect the stem with 2-3 links (segments) from the flower.
- Dry the prepared cuttings for three days at normal temperature and natural light.
- Prepare small planting containers with the correct soil composition. Deepen the shoots into the ground.
- Cover the container with a glass jar or polyethylene, thereby creating greenhouse conditions.
- Place the pots in a shaded and not too warm place (+20 degrees) for 30 days. Moisten the soil daily and ventilate the plant.
Another method of propagation is grafting. It is used very infrequently, since it is labor intensive and has numerous nuances. But if this doesn’t scare you, then try growing a new Decembrist by replanting a shoot to the prickly pear.
To do this, you need to split the prickly pear stem and insert a pointed shoot into the socket. After this, the joint is fixed with a needle and additionally tied with tape. In approximately 2 weeks, the Decembrist will grow together with the mother’s body.
What to do if the Decembrist does not bloom
So, we figured out when the Decembrist blooms. However, some florists never wait for the coveted inflorescences in the winter months. Why does this happen and how can you help the Christmas tree get bright and attractive bunches of flowers?
Among the reasons for the lack of flowers, experts point out poor-quality (not meeting the plant’s requirements) soil, low air humidity, excessive shade, and lack of nutrients. All these factors need to be analyzed and eliminated.
Another question is how to “force” Schlumbergera to bloom at home?
You need to prepare in advance and do the following:
- choose a planting container that is not too wide (so that the flower is cramped);
- do not place the pot in a too warm place - optimal temperature is +16 degrees (in a cool microclimate, flowering will last longer);
- exclude serious temperature changes;
- put the pot with the zygocactus in one place and refuse to move it or turn it over (otherwise the buds will fall off);
- carry out pruning (pinching) in advance and do not break off the stems in October-November, otherwise you may not get buds at all;
- organize additional lighting in the room, if there is a shortage in the autumn-winter period sunlight(you can place the pot next to the lighting fixture);
- refuse to fertilize in September, since otherwise the plant will form stems rather than buds;
- reduce the intensity of watering during the formation of buds (October-November), but when the plant blooms, the volume of water can be slightly increased, but very carefully.
All these recommendations will help you achieve abundant flowering Decembrist. And, of course, it is necessary to follow the above-described principles of care so that the zygocactus feels great not only during budding, but throughout the year.
Diseases and pests
Decembrist is quite resistant to attacks harmful insects. And yet, some problems happen if you don’t take care of your green “pet.” What pests are considered the most dangerous and how to deal with them in order to prolong the life of the zygocactus?
The most common disease of the Decembrist is fungal fusarium. Pathogenic microorganisms through the soil and scratches penetrate the cactus, which leads to rotting of the roots. You can defeat the disease with the help of fungicides, for example, Bayleton.
Another common pathology is bacterial late blight, which manifests itself in the form of a dark spot, which subsequently invades more and more new areas of the stem. It will not be possible to cure the affected areas, so the easiest and most correct thing to do is to remove the diseased processes so that the infection does not spread further.
The Decembrist flower usually does not cause any particular inconvenience to gardeners. But we cannot exclude the possibility of some problem situations associated with the growth of leaves and stems, as well as flowering. We have already talked about some things, but some things should be said additionally.

The plant is unpretentious to temperature conditions; it can easily tolerate temperatures from +2 to +37 degrees. The most comfortable temperature conditions for the Decembrist it is considered +18 - +25 degrees. The Decembrist is also unpretentious in feeding, but for full growth they are still necessary.

Therefore, if people noticed that the Decembrist did not bloom in December, then they mentally prepared themselves for the worst.

A dried plant promises the imminent death of one of the family members. It is likely that death will occur unexpectedly and suddenly. This is why many are simply afraid to have a Decembrist at home.
If the Decembrist began to get sick, despite proper care, it was believed that this was due to the visit of some ill-wisher. Maybe even the person did not deliberately think about anything bad, but his negative energy was present. You need to take a closer look at your friends; it is likely that some of them have an insincere attitude towards you. That is, the Decembrist allows you to determine the goodwill of your guests.
