Zygo cactus (Schlumbergera)

December 9, 2025

Six weeks of “long nights” (14 hrs of complete dark) and cool temperatures and the Zygo cactus is blooming like mad. The white one bloomed until February last season. I bought the small plants in December 2023. I’ve had blooms in ’23,’24,and now ’25.

My Grandmother grew these. I was fascinated by them when I was a young teenager. Now, all these years later;  it’s my turn to have them blooming in Winter. Homage to my dear grandmother, Annie Ellen.
