Just when things start to look pretty dreary outside and old friend decided to brighten things up a bit.
The Christmas Cactus are blooming. And just in time for the Christmas season.

please tell me your "secrets" to beautiful Christmas Cacti. Love love love
ReplyDeleteThey sit in a south window all year. Around the middle of October I close the shades, slow down the water and then Thanksgiving I open the shades back up. That little bit of darkness for a couple weeks triggers them to bloom.
Deletethank you so much for this "help". any natural fertilizer
DeleteI like to use a fish emulsion fertilizer in the spring when I can open the windows because boy does it stink! The plants love it though just not too much : )
DeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I babysat my SIL's one year and enjoyed it so much.

Mine have a bunch of buds on it. I can't wait for them to bloom. I'm so excited.
ReplyDeleteI have never encountered the yellow before now. Incredible!
ReplyDeleteIt is really more of a coral color but it is pretty. I also have a small white one that seems to bloom slower than the others. Maybe Easter
DeleteMy husband's grandmother had a beautiful Christmas cactus that was just huge. She'd had it for 25 years. I am not good at keeping indoor plants so I never asked her for a cutting. I wish I had -- she's gone now and I think of her every time I see one of these beautiful plants.
