AdrianOh, wow. That’s awesome! Do you have any tips to get it to bloom so much? Or any fertilizer recommendations? 😃

Uh, neglect?! I've had this one since at least 2020. Currently potted in epiphytic orchid mix of bark, perlilte, and charcoal, no soil at all. Sitting in front of a west facing window with light filtering shade. I use just liquid miracle grow for tropical plants on plantas recommended schedule. House Plant Journal has an article called Schlumbergera Blooming: Most Accurate Tips. Living in a hundred year old house kinda naturally allows for temperature fluctuating during the seasons and I guess it just naturally gets less daylight. It's in my dining room so it never gets periods of complete darkness but I have stored it in a closet before to give it darkness.

Got it. I do love when a plant thrives on neglect. 😊 My peperomia obtusifolias are like that. Thanks so much for such an in-depth response! 😃

This really is my favorite plant. I've tried so many things but it really does best just letting it be. I have a 2nd I bought in the fall that is attempting a 2nd round of buds too but it's also trying to grow new segments so it's not as full this round.v

I recently bought one for myself, but my great-aunt was gifted one a little over a year ago, and I’ve been taking care of it for her, so I’ve been trying to learn the ropes with these. You’ve got a beautiful favorite plant 😊 It’s pretty hard for me to pick a sole favorite out of my collection, but if you’re looking for any other succulent-like flowering houseplants, this is my ‘Shady Lady Mae’ Goldfish Plant. I keep her in Espoma’s cactus mix, I let her completely dry between waterings, and change out her Osmocote Fertilizer Pellets whenever I repot her. It doesn’t seem to take much effort or fertilizing to get these guys to flower. Highly recommend picking one up if you ever spot one.

This is another flowering favorite. It’s not a fan of an aggressive repot, but other than that, it was surprisingly quite easy to get this one to flower. This is a Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant. And this one has a very pretty cousin in the Thai Pink Passion Lipstick Plant. Highly recommend looking up the flowers for that one. They’re a very sweet, almost cherry blossom pink version of this plant 🌸 I rescued my Pink Passion from a Lowe’s and am dying to get it to flower someday.
