Schlumbergera truncata - Jolly Purple [limited]

Highlights

Schlumbergera truncata 'Jolly Purple' is a vibrant holiday cactus celebrated for its striking purple blooms that add a joyful burst of color during the late fall and winter seasons. Its segmented, scalloped green stems form a compact, upright structure that makes it perfect for tabletops, windowsills, or hanging displays. When days grow shorter, 'Jolly Purple' reliably bursts into rich violet blossoms that contrast beautifully with its lush foliage. Easy to care for and long-lasting, this variety thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers slightly moist, well-draining soil. A cheerful favorite for holiday décor or year-round enjoyment, it brings festive energy to any space.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
