Zygocactus

 

These beautiful plants have a botanical name that is difficult to pronounce: schlumbergera. They are named after Frédéric Schlumberger, a collector of cacti who lived in a château near Rouen in France in the mid-nineteenth century. Although they are cacti, they are not desert plants. They are epiphytes (plants which depend on others for support, but not nutrition) from the jungles of southeast Brazil, a humid area with high rainfall. In days gone by, zygocactus were mostly seen with bright cerise pink flowers. However through the efforts of local as well as American and Japanese breeders, a stunning range of flower colours and shapes is now available.

Plant details

Common name: Zygocactus, Christmas cactus, and Crab’s claw cactus

Botanic name: Schlumbergera truncata Hybrids

Description: Members of the Cactaceae family which have flattened, spineless, pendulous branches with prominent notches at the margins. The flowers are asymmetrical in shape and appear at the stem tips. Flower colours range from pink, lavenders and reds through to oranges, yellows and whites.

Schlumbergera is a small genus of cacti with six to nine species found in the coastal mountains of south-eastern Brazil. Plants grow on trees or rocks in habitats that are generally shady with high humidity, and can be quite different in appearance from their desert-dwelling cousins. Most species of Schlumbergera have stems which resemble leaf-like pads joined one to the other and flowers which appear from areoles at the joints and tips of the stems. Two species have cylindrical stems more similar to other cacti. Recent phylogenetic studies using DNA have led to three species of the related genus Hatiora being transferred into Schlumbergera,though this change is not universally accepted.

Common names for these cacti generally refer to their flowering season. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are called Christmas cactus, Thanksgiving cactus, crab cactus and holiday cactus. In Brazil, the genus is referred to as Flor de Maio (May flower), reflecting the period in which they flower in the Southern Hemisphere. Most of the popular houseplants are cultivars of Schlumbergera, rather than species, with flowers in white, pink, yellow, orange, red or purple. The Easter cactus or Whitsun cactus, until recently placed in the genus Hatiora, is also called a holiday cactus and has flowers in red, orange, pink and white.

The cultivars of the Christmas cactus fall into two main groups:

• The Truncata Group contains all cultivars with features derived mainly from the species S. truncata: stem segments with pointed teeth; flowers held more or less horizontally, usually above the horizontal, whose upper side is differently shaped from the lower side (zygomorphic); and pollen which is yellow. They generally flower earlier than members of the Buckleyi Group and, although common names are not applied consistently, may be distinguished as Thanksgiving cactus, crab cactus or claw cactus.
• The Buckleyi Group contains all cultivars with at least some features clearly showing inheritance from S. russelliana: stem segments with rounded, more symmetrical teeth; more or less symmetrical (regular) flowers which hang down, below the horizontal; and pollen which is pink. They generally flower later than members of the Truncata Group and are more likely to be called Christmas cactus.

Description: Christmas cactus Schlumbergera truncata is a much branched cascading epiphyte, also knows as crab's claw cactus up to 30 cm tall before weeping and 30-45 cm in diameter. The individual flattened, spineless joints of these popular cacti form arching, pendulous branches from whose tips hang satiny, zygomorphic flowers that ranges in colour from red to pink, purple, orange, white or multicolour, with yellow pollen, white filaments, and terete ovaries.
Stem segments (phylloclades): Truncate, 4-6 cm long, 1.5-3.5 cm broad, flattened leaf-like dark and glossy dark green with two teeth at the apex and small 2-3 toothed (pointed), marginal notches on each side.
Areoles: Almost spineless or with tiny brush-like spines and little felt. Terminal areole between two teeth composite, long and felty.
Flower: Zygomorphic (bilaterally symmetrical), borne slightly above the horizontal both at the stem joints as well as at the stem ends, hooded, tubular 6.5-8(-12) cm long, 4.5-6 cm wide, red, pink, purple, orange, white or multicolored. Style purple. Pericarpel round, smooth, reddish green. Receptacle 4 cm long. Stamens in two groups, filaments white, pollen yellow. Little has been written of the variability of colour in the flower in the wild although one would assume that red predominates.
Blooming Period: Autumn and winter ( In northern hemishere November through February). Flowering is triggered by short days and cool temperatures
Fruit: Round to pear shaped, red, smooth.

 

Notes: Zygocactus hybrids (Christmas cactus):
These hybrids, often cultivated as a houseplant, with their rather unique flower arrangement, have been in cultivation since early in the 1800s and have had surges of popularity. The term Zygocactus is the name predominant in the plant industry despite what the taxonomists have decreed are now Schlumbergera. There are many garden varieties, most of which are very beautiful. The greenhouse cultivars has salmon, orange, peach, coral, yellow, white pink or multicoloured flowers.
