Schlumbergera x --Polka Christmas Cactus--

Brazilian native, and well-known winter bloomer - sprawling segmented cactus does not have painful spines, and will bloom a plethora of hot pink orchid-like blooms. The trick to getting blossoms is keeping it in a darker room (at least 12-16 hours of dimness) that gets down around 50-60° - placing it in the garage for a week or two usually does the trick! If it's not working, restrict water a little more than usual. Protect from frost and drafty areas (not under an ac vent), do not overwater.
