Repotting Some Tropicals. 3.20.2021

 I repotted a couple of Nepenthes.  The sunroom is too hot for them and they dry out way too fast.  That led to the demise of the larger ones.  For these, I had some heavier pots so they don't fall over any more.  Also a more moisture retentive soil.  We'll see how they do.  Also, I repotted two small zygocactus, and took a bunch of cuttings from the oldest, largest one.   That's the top left one.  The flower is a nice salmon color.  I've never seen another one like that.

Schlumbergera

Several are in full bloom now. Schlumbergera = "Holiday cactus" = "Thanksgiving cactus" = "Zygocactus" = sometimes, incorrectly, Xmas cactus

Salmon, cutting-grown 4 years old. Summered outdoors, North side of house.

3 years old pink. Summered same as the others.
