Plant description
Bright, vivid blooms make this a striking choice for indoor winter colour, and its flattened, segmented stems arch into a graceful, cascading shape that suits shelves, mantelpieces, and hanging pots. The flowers form in generous clusters at the stem tips, opening into star-like shapes with sharply defined pink edges that soften to white toward the centre, creating a crisp contrast against the deep green foliage.
This plant lifts darker corners easily, thriving in bright but indirect light and rewarding stable conditions with an extended display. As it matures, the structure becomes fuller and more decorative, adding year-round interest. Schlumbergera ‘Pink Flowered’ fits comfortably into both modern and traditional interiors and remains a dependable choice for vibrant seasonal colour.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant, (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we do have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.

How to care for Schlumbergera Pink flowered:
Choose a bright spot out of direct sunlight and maintain a humid atmosphere by daily misting or standing Schlumbergera on a saucer of wettened gravel. The plant needs two resting periods so after it has flowered in late January reduce the watering and move to a cooler room with a temperature of approx 54-59°F (12-15°C). Water sparingly but don't let it dry out.
From April to September, increase watering and feed with a liquid houseplant fertiliser, moving the plant to a warmer room with a temperature of around 64-68°F (18-20°C). The flower buds should start to form in mid-September, so reduce the temperature and watering as before for the 2nd resting period.
Once the flower buds have developed you again increase the temperature and watering. This should ensure a lovely Christmas floral display. For healthy growth, it is best to repot every year at the end of March using a cactus potting compost or John Innes No. 2 with added grit.
