First let me say that you should check with a reputable botanist who specalizes in pharmacognosy. Herbal != safe. Nighshade, Hemlock, and Poison Ivy are about as herbal as they come and just about as evil as they come too!


Are zygo cactus plants poisonous?

Yes, holiday cactus plants [Schlumbergera and Zygocactus spp] are poisonous. So not one of their body parts are meant to be chewed, eaten or swallowed. Touching or smelling the body parts isn't a problem. Problems result only with the mistaken notion of the plant and its parts as a source of drink or food.


Do Christmas cactus plants have seeds?

Yes, the Christmas cactus [Schlumbergera spp] has seeds. Their lopsided, trumpet shaped, mostly red flowers grow out of stem ends. They're followed by green or reddish, grapelike fruits if they've been pollinated. The seeds are in the fruit. But if the flowers aren't fertilized, then they aren't followed by fruits or seeds.


What is the life span of a Schlumbergera gaertneri Easter Cactus?

The Easter blooming cactus [Schlumbergera gaertneri] is a successful houseplant. So it can live for many years if its environment supports its needs. It's a jungle cactus from Brazil. So it's the opposite of the desert cactus in its needs.Specifically, the Easter cactus isn't used to direct, harsh or strong light. That's because in its native environment it's light deprived. The tropical forest is a thick, dense, dark place for a growing jungle cactus. What it lacks in light it more than makes up for in moisture. It handles warm, humid environments. So it won't live long if it's subjected to long hours of direct or strong light. Neither will it live long if it's put on a little or no watering schedule.
