Hi, here I am, checking in with my two cents. I personally do not take cuttings until the blooming season is over and the plant has rested. My cutting times will depend on how long the blooms last. Most of the time I begin taking them in February or March, the Schlumbergera Truncata that are blooming now will no doubt keep blooming off and on until February or March and that is why I wait as long as I do. It depends on the plants and their caregivers methods.
I always say this is what works for me and I can not guarantee it is the best or correct way, but I have to do what works for me since this is what I do. The End.
