Jõulukaktus puhkes õide / Holiday cactus

2007.11.02
Christmas cactus will create flower buds when subjected to cooler temperatures (50-58 degrees Fahrenheit/10-14 degrees Celsius) for 6-8 weeks (copy from wikipedia)

Many modern holiday cactus cultivars are hybrids between Schlumbergera truncata and Schlumbergera russelliana, first bred about 150 years ago in England. (copy from wikipedia)

They are originally forest cacti, growing as epiphytes at elevations between 1000 and 1700 meters above sea level (3280 to 5575 feet above sea level) in the Organ Mountains north of Rio de Janeiro in southeast Brazil, South America. (copy from wikipedia)

If taken care of properly, a single planting can last for hundreds of years. (copy from wikipedia)

Reedel olid esimesed õiepungad ja ööl vastu laupäeva puhkeski õide. Jõulukaktus on siis ca 150 aastat tagasi Inglismaal aretatud ja pärineb Lõuna-Ameerikast, leviala ca 1000-1500m kõrgusel mägedes. Pidi korraliku hooldusega elama ca 100 aastat ja kauemgi. õitsemisperiood on siis kui 4-6 nädalat tavapärasest külmemad ilmad olnud.
