Nice graphic, thanks!

Anyone know where to get S. lutea in the US? LOL, I feel that I must have one. Such a pretty color!

Sue: I have no idea. As you may have noticed. Besides Truncata that is readily available in stores, the other ones are nowhere to be found. Except for on here for the true Xmas cactus..and the people that do have some of the other ones are stingy to share.

There has always been many opinions of informing/misinforming ideas regarding not only this species but also several other species Many comments have already been shared including the mix/soils ranging from bark based soils pure bark mixes and BBS soils labeled as C&S and AGM.

More times than not the soil ( or the alleged soil problem) starts with the growers and producers of them for mass distribution I often note how each tropical schlum. ' holiday cacti' is already looking healthy at purchase points in an already made soil that's a bit heavy in peat for the most part yes but still the plant is healthy in appearance.

As the mass producers have widely shown time and time again its also very possible to cultivate and have a healthy schlums in such heavy peat soils which doesn't include number of improperly re-potted of schlums that are never seen or inquired about on any of the forums.
