Schlumbergera truncata - Sonic Red [limited]

Highlights

Schlumbergera truncata 'Sonic Red', dazzles with its vibrant red blooms and segmented, claw-like stems. This stunning epiphytic cactus bursts into brilliant scarlet flowers during the late fall and early winter months, making it a festive favorite for seasonal décor. Its scalloped green pads grow in a branching habit, giving it a lush, tropical appearance even when not in bloom. Easy to care for and long-lived, 'Sonic Red' thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates moderate watering with good drainage. A reliable bloomer and showstopper in any indoor plant collection, it adds bold color and charm year after year.

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.
