I have had very similar experience with holiday cactus here in Phoenix. I have only the Schlumbergera truncata now. I treat it just as you do in Las Vegas and, finally, I have conquered the difficulties with them here in the desert! I love your video and it verifies that I am giving these jungle cactus the right treatment -finally!

Any tips on these guy's??? I'm thinking about putting her in a pot and have it inside with my succulent soil: Pistachio she'll/ nuts shell ...compost/ sand and some lava rock .... How's that sound at least in terms of medium??

Received one 12/2021. I’ve only seen a few hardened tiny white buds. I was determined to see it bloom, but giving it to a family member. Her covered patio gives little light indoors & hers bloomed on her dining table. So I’ll plant mine in her pot. Too much work for only white flowers. I prefer color. ❤

You have really helped me. I live in the Phoenix metro area on a golf course. I was given a nice sized cactus that I kept outside on a south facing, screened patio for 3 years. It became terribly stressed. As I was learning more about succulents, I brought it in for the summer. I realized after learning more, the pot it was in was too big. I ended up losing a big part of the plant, but saved segments to root. I put a segment of one and planted in pon in a small self watering pot. It has been that way for about 4 months now and it is healthy, but not old enough for buds, I don’t think. It’s in an East window. The other segments I placed in a desert and pumice mix. They seem to be okay, but it’s always hard to tell when to water because I top dressed with pumice to discourage gnats. This pot is in the same east window. I had all of them in a north window during the summer. The part of the big plant I saved is outside on the patio now that it is cool. It has 2 buds, which haven’t dropped yet. I am so mixed up on watering!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing. Most of the time, experience is our best teacher. 😉 I’ve learned a lot- the hard way, like caring for this Thanksgiving cactus. We all have different climates and conditions that we need to consider. I hope you get it figured out soon. 🙂 Those buds are a sign that you are doing something right.

It's so beautiful! I have the dark pink one and got it to bloom by hiding it behind a towel in a closet for ~14 hours a day starting mid-sept. It's currently staying in my living room and has buds forming again 😁

My Christmas cactus bloomed during the week of Christmas last week. That was a surprise as all my cacti tend to struggle during the grey/dark winters here in Vancouver. I guess the plant loves a low sunlight winter.

Your background of growing up with your parents having an orchid shop really shows here. It's vey much similar to the way an orchid would be potted. You're so lucky to have such a legacy, growing up with a family of growing plants. I so admire your knowledge Ana. Thanks for the vid. I think i'll try my hand at Schlumbergeras. So lovely.

Beauty of a plant Ana!!! Wonderful that you pulled off growing it in a desert environment!!! You are right about these being sensitive to being moved while blooming. I tell people, it will lose all its flowers and buds this year, so next will be a good year. I bought a mini schlumbergera at the dollar store last year. I got to see two flowers before the rest of the buds fell. Shipping shock. The minute they pack them up for sale it messes them up!! This year it bloomed great along with my others!!! I keep mine hanging in our mimosa trees during spring and summer. Along with my Epiphyllum strictum. They don't like the hot greenhouse during the growing season. Thanks for sharing your info and your wonderful plant!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a wonderful evening!!! Peace, Love, Plants ✌️💖🌵🥀🌳🏵🌿🌸🌱🌷🌲🌹🌴🌾🌻🪴💐🍀😃👍

Lovely plant! I have a Christmas cactus that my daughter gave me and I do the same as you do to get it to bloom. It was tricky getting it to grow because I had it in a north facing window (and I am in Canada 😂) and it dropped segments if I moved it but now it is under my grow lights and it bloomed.
@CactusCaffeine
@CactusCaffeine Год назад
That’s good news and congratulations. It is hard to find the best condition for this plant but once you figure it out, it should be easy care from then on. Mine also continued to develop its buds under growlight. Outside, those buds would have dropped due to the freeze.

This tropical cactus go really well in my subtropical climate here in the mediterránean coast of Spain but I have to protect them in summer as you do because I have a drought season. I think that they have a limit for hot temperature as well as they have a limit for cold. Have a great week!😘💞

Hello! I have all three holiday cactus. I've been growing them for 12: years. I've made many new plants from soil and water propagation. I prefer water method. Both work but soil seems trickier. Do you stop watering your holiday cactus in October? I do and it seems to help force buds to form. I will mist from time to time. I tried to leave my large one against the south patio window this past summer and it got burnt a bit. I was able to save it but won't again because it was over 100 degrees for a month outside. It was under shade but was too hot!. Mine stay inside.i have 20 thanksgiving and Christmas cactus and 6 easter. The Easter cactus are difficult for me to grow. I've been seeing a hard opaque texture to the claves and have had to pick the plants apart to save the green claves; I put them in new soil. 💚

Hi Ana you have a beautiful Thanksgiving cacti. I bought a holiday cacti at Costco 2 years ago it had a beautiful blooms on it and that was the last. Ever since then it hasn't bloomed again. It's healthy but I don't know why it won't bloom for me. Anyways, I'll keep trying.

Do you keep it indoors? Make sure it experiences the change in season. From hot to cold, long to short day time.

During the weeks before Christmas I searched in stores and online for a real Christmas cactus but could not find one. Many people are selling the “holiday cactus.” Most of these holiday cactus and even those identified as “Christmas cactus” are actually the type that is generally called the Thanksgiving cactus with the sharp type of edges. I did find some people selling a couple of cuttings from what they say is a real Christmas cactus but they are kind of a prima-donna type of plant so I would prefer a plant that is at least rooted. I am still on the lookout for the true Christmas cactus. Hopefully, I will find a good one eventually.

These types of plant do not want much water during the winter. Just give a small drink if it starts to look in need of a drink but do not soak it. Spring and summer are generally their growing season and they will need regular watering and some fertilizer then. That is when they grow new leaves. It is during the fall that it needs a bit of a cooler environment and a bit less water. To get a stubborn plant to bloom you may need to put it in a place where it gets absolutely no light (not even artificial light) at night. People like me who live in the northern states sometimes find it difficult to find these conditions. It needs more darkness and a bit cooler temperature in order to bloom. The lighting conditions are the most important part of the process though. I have central heating and do not really have a cooler part of our home but have gotten blooms as long as I give the plant ten hours of complete darkness at night.

Successfully made mine bloom over Xmas this year! But half of the buds dropped before they were pea size and the other half were perfect. Any ideas why they dropped?
@CactusCaffeine
@CactusCaffeine Год назад
They will drop their buds when their environment suddenly changes like when you move them while the buds are still pea-sized. They buds are very sensitive to sudden changes in humidity, temperatures, sun exposure. Try to keep their location the same until the buds are about to open. Do not let the soil go dry very long when they are in bud. Hope this helps. 🙂
