Christmas Cactus: Schlumbergera bridgesii


Christmas Cactus: Schlumbergera bridgesii (Cactaceae)

These cacti are originally forest cacti from the Organ Mountains north of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The plant is made up of 1-inch long, dark green elliptical leaves that look linked together. They are very easy to propagate by taking a single leaf section and planting it 1/4 of its length in soil.
