Slumbergera Orange

I received today cuttings (I ordered four but received about a dozen) of this ...



The problem is there are buds on a lot of them. Will they root? I plan on doing water and soil methods.

 

Christmas cactus is what I call them and do have one Easter cactus .


Remove the buds is best , and yes they will root

yours is a great colour

Thank you Spruce. It was listed as Delicate Orange, but on the packaging she (Angelika) wrote Blood Gold (in German).

 

I've never come across that colour before - very attractive. Both mine ( red flower/purple leaf aka Xmas cactus and the white flower/ green leaf aka Easter cactus) are both beginning to flower now.
Very easy to propagate as @Spruce says. I use a shallow tray of sieved compost to do mine in - if you can only choose a piece with a tiny bud showing, you can just nip it off. Good luck

 

I have a feeling they will root even with the flowers on them.
But best to take some off as you have so many you could try both ways.

 

That is what I plan on doing.

 

It got to 22c today and sunny, now a cool 16.4c.

 

I planted them today ... a couple had bloomed,more yellow but I like it ...




and hung it in the Iochroma with the others ...


It gets some sun here above the Hibiscus ...

 

That's a lovely colour @Victoria.

I had a huge pinky red one grown from a teeny citting Possum won in a school fair raffle when she was 7. I put it outside last summer ofr its holidays and it looked fine but when I went to bring it in again for winter it had wilted and fallen apart - the base of every stem eaten by snails. Fortunately I had a few babies growing for friends and now have a very small one just starting to flower now.

 

Yes, I thought it unique. I got cuttings from Germany. I also have a red one, a white one, a white with pink edges, and this one I have had for Donkey's Years ....
