Thanks David and Sheryl Smiling

Sheryl, these plants have not been taken outside for the past 2 years. I barely remember to water them in the summer because I go for weeks at a time without going into the basement. The other tropical plants and epies take up most of the room outside, so there's not much room for the Schlums. Also, they were not fertilized this year. They really do survive despite me, they are such resilient plants. If I took better care of them, I'm sure they would be more lush.

I love Pam's presentation of her plants, I think I'm going to pot up and combine some of the smaller plants into larger hanging baskets.

Can anyone recommend a good soil mix for potting these plants? For my epies, I use potting soil mixed with Perlite, composted manure, and fine bark, would this mix also work for Schlumbergera?
