Planting and Sowing Instructions:
-
Prepare the Soil: Choose a well-draining soil mix that is slightly acidic. A cactus or succulent potting mix works well. Ensure the soil is loose and airy for optimal growth.
-
Sowing the Seeds: Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil surface. Do not cover them with soil, as they need light to germinate. Press them gently into the soil using a flat tool to ensure contact with the surface.
-
Watering: Lightly mist the seeds with water to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Schlumbergera seeds do not tolerate waterlogging, so ensure proper drainage.
-
Germination: Place the seed tray or pots in a warm, bright spot, but out of direct sunlight. The ideal temperature for germination is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Germination can take 2-3 weeks.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings have grown large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots or your garden space. Space them about 12 inches (30 cm) apart for optimal growth.
-
Care and Maintenance: Keep your plants in an area that gets indirect sunlight. During the growing season, water when the soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as Schlumbergera plants are sensitive to excessive moisture.
