Epiphyllum are epiphytic cacti as their name suggests. Some call them orchid cactus due to their large bright blooms and growth habit. Epiphytic plants grow on other plants, not in a parasitic fashion but as hosts. They are not cold hardy and generally can be found only as houseplants or greenhouse specimens.

Schlumbergera x bucklei was obtained by Buckley and described in 1852. It is one of the original Zygocactus hybrids, an interspecific hybrid between S. truncata and S. russelliana. Its stem-segments are rounded, their shape reminds of the stem-segments of S. russelliana but those of S. X "buckleyi" are bigger. Resemblance to S. russelliana has frequently provoked a confusion between the two plants.

This hybrid tends to flower a few months later than the more common hybrids.

CULTIVATION TIPS
We recommend purchasing 2 or 3 cuttings when planting up a pot as it will ensure the development of a robust and aesthetic plant.

Zygocactus do best in partial shade in a fertile soil mix. Keep reasonable moist throughout the year, a little less so in winter. They enjoy humidity and so benefit from spraying.
