OH NO!!!! So, based on this, I should probably bring my three Christmas Cactus plants in from my porch since it was 99° today!!! They are in the shade but it is still hot as he.... in NW Georgia!! Right now, it's 97°F!


They'll be fine. The day lengths are probably more important as a bud-setting trigger. They come from the tropical cloud forests of Brazil, but in cultivation, they've seen a lot of 100° temperatures. Georgia will eventually cool off, I hope. Crossing Fingers!

According to what I've read, night temperatures in Schlumbergera habitat can occasionally get down to 25° F. How long have you had them? Do they bloom well?


Wow!!! You replied to this thread on a phone! I'm impressed! I wouldn't even attempt to try and type a reply that long without my laptop keyboard! I reckon I'm just old school.


Heh, heh, yeah, it wasn't intentional. I'd much rather use a keyboard too, but I was enjoying a little breakfast, thinking that I was going to dash off a quick reply and be done. Before I figured out what was happening, I was in too deep to quit, and it was past time to get moving.
