The ability to store water leaves the Decembrists not so pronounced as in our usual cactus. Therefore, a prolonged drought Schlumberger brings bad.
The fact that the plant is not enough moisture, says the appearance of the indoor plants: the leaves turn soft and covered with wrinkles, and aerial roots growing between the leaf segments, look lifeless. But after a couple of hours after watering the picture is much better.
