However he kept the only other species of Schlumbergera known at the time in a different genus.

When grown as house plants, Schlumbergera cultivars are said to be relatively easy to care for.

Some, like the schlumbergera cactus, I picked up on a whim at the supermarket (this store is now closed).

The cultivars of Schlumbergera fall into two main groups:

Schlumbergera species, such as S. truncata, have flowers that correspond closely to this syndrome.

The modern genus Schlumbergera was created by Charles Lemaire in 1858.

These plants and their cultivation are discussed at Schlumbergera: Cultivation.

Schlumbergera: the Christmas cactus does not have a real trunk but easily lends itself to a cascade-type bonsai shape.

Your plant is in the genus Schlumbergera, native to Brazilian rain forests, where it grows on rocks and hangs from trees.

This confusion extended to Schlumbergera, whose complicated taxonomic history has been detailed by McMillan and Horobin.

Epiphytic cacti, such as species of Rhipsalis or Schlumbergera, often hang downwards, forming dense clumps where they grow in trees high above the ground.

The Easter Cactus is considered more difficult to grow than the Christmas or Thanksgiving Cactus (Schlumbergera).

The flowers of Schlumbergera have adaptations for pollination by hummingbirds: tubular flowers with abundant nectar, and colours towards the red end of the spectrum.

For example, in 1858 Charles Lemaire recognized the distinctiveness of the species then called Epiphyllum russellianum by creating the genus Schlumbergera.
