Free: House plant: Schlumbergera (Willingdon BN20) House plant: Schlumbergera This is a succulent that is also called Xmas cactus. It has flowers of white-blush-pink once or twice a year. These can grow very large if looked after well. I also have a few more smaller houseplants: 1 Aloe vera (I think) or similar variety of plant, 2 pelargoniums that have grown rather "leggy" (you can take cuttings from these), and another, smaller, but with glossy green leaves "Xmas cactus" (Schlumbergia) as well. and 1 It urgently needs repotting in suitable soil, preferably light soil mixed with a little sand. /
