Hello schlumbergera lovers!
A colleague of mine has got some fruits on a schlumbergera plant. She is eager to raise new plants from seed but is unsure of the right ways. Could you give some recommendations, please? Will be glad for any hints!
Thanks in advance.

It looks more like a Hatiora = Easter cactus hybrid rather than Schlumbergera. Don't know the answer to the question -though I'd guess same sowing conditions as any cactus. I'm sure someone can give a better/more detailed answer ...

Wait until the fruits ripen before harvesting the seed - I'd expect them to go red

Oh, sorry for misleading - that should really be a rhisalidopsis hybrid (easter cactus); but germination tips are still welcome!
