Abstract

A plant variety of the Cactaceae family resulting from a controlled crossing of Schlumbergera truncata ‘Camillia’ and Schlumbergera truncata ‘Rudolph II’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,487) called ‘Prancer’. ‘Prancer’ has a bi-colored bloom, due to the tube forming tepals having red-purple coloring at their margins and white central and basal surfaces. ‘Prancer’ has a strong resistance to bud abscission, a strong propensity for buds to mature and flower, considerable resistance to fungal diseases, an erect growth habit, and an ability to grow well in relatively cold temperatures. ‘Prancer’ also possesses a fast growth rate, and a strong propensity to branch with minimal pruning.
