Do not assume you can neglect your green babies and get away with it. There will be consequences that you will have to address sooner or later.
I parked my Schlumbergera collection under a giant camellia in April and did not turn, feed or water until October, due to surgery and an accident. Did I really expect perfect shape and blooms in December?

No. I just hoped we would all survive. I did and they did, but the results are not pretty.
I feel as lop-sided as they look. I do think their month in a plastic bag helped with hydration.

They are blooming. These are the best looking ones.

The others are pitiful.

It’s almost time for some rehab. I will let them bloom through the holidays before pruning and repotting.
Since I do not care for more plants, I will lay the twisted off segments back in the pot from which they came for a few days. Then dust segment ends with root-tone dust and repot the plant and its segments at once.
That way I do not mix up the colors. That’s just me being OCD.
