 RECOGNITION and CULTURE of the HOLIDAY CACTI
The name Schlumbergera bridgesii, still seen occasionally, was mistakenly published for it very early, and only in 1964 was the plant's proper history and correct designation traced and reestablished by Will Tjaden, a member of the Epiphytic Plant Study Group in England.
It is not nearly as popular as the Schlumbergeras because it is rather more difficult to grow well, and it has the disconcerting habit of shedding its phylloclades (stem segments) at the slightest draught, or whenever over- or under-watered.
Schlumbergeras are not much bothered by bugs, although Mealy Bugs and Root Mealy Bugs might appear if one gets a little careless.
