Very helpful video, I've been wondering how to do that and I really appreciate the close up so we could see exactly what you were doing. Thanks for another great video 😊👍
Good Afternoon Beautiful. Lml. I love the title of this video . My husband brought me one of these two weeks ago. Good thing i watched your care video. The blooms are gone now. Pretty pinkish color. Blessings
I just pollinated one of my Christmas cactus has yesterday so it's funny to see that you did a video of it today. I don't know what happens if you pollinate two of the same plant with two different flowers off that plant. I just bought an orange one last week at the supermarket. And a pink one that hasn't bloomed yet! The ones I had here that we're outside over the summer have quit blooming they still have some buds to come though. I think I'm going to put it in the cooler bedroom and see if they'll set some more bloom. Nice videos Stephanie! I did this last year and I remember seeing a seed pod form but it must have fallen off over the summer and I missed catching the seeds I guess
I never thought holiday cactus trunata was self polinating. Yes is cross pollinates ok. i have seen Christmas cactus bucklyi self pollinate though.❤ respect.😊
I'm going to try this with different colours. If it's the same colour I want more of, I just usually take off a leaf segment and pot it up. Many thanks
A tip I learned from Danirlle Tells was writing on the base of the flower, right where it's going to fruit, the initials of what you pollinated it with. So you dont have the tags. 😄
Hi Stef, I have heard of doing this I just never have tried it, there is a RUclipsr and her channel is Danielletells, and she crossed pollinated the Schlumbergera, and it was so cool to see the seed pods and then she took the seeds and planted them and now has so many cute tiny cactus growing. I would love to do this. Thanks so much for sharing this is such a cool video, I just never knew how to go about cross pollinating them. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and I look forward to many more videos. Love you my sweet friend, have an awesome day, bye for now.
Great video! I never seen a self pollinating video before. I wondered myself would a yellow & red bloom create blue or something? Please make sure you do a follow up video. How long does it take before they make fruit?
Another hint is try to get and I'm all mixed up on my flower parts right this second but the pollen is the male part and that's the stamen I think and the pistil is the female part the ovary part usually when that's ready to be fertilized it is shiny so if it's turned a darker color it's past time to produce a C diff the pollens put there because the female part has to be moist so that pollen and can swim up the pistol inform the little seeds
Hopefully my dark pink one will bloom soon so I can cross it with my light pink one! The darker one’s buds are falling off because it was severely over watered in the grocery store.
Hi Stef! Better late than never, right? LOL! Since I clicked on, I think your newest video, a lot of older videos showed up..... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, I just watched a video from August 2020 that showed you pulling the fruit and planting the seeds. Is that one from the flowers you pollinated in this video? I have 4 new Holiday cactus, but they've already flowered, and/or lost all of the buds. Hopefully they'll bloom again next year so I can try this. Thank you for sharing!
I have a question when I try to pollinate the open flowers of the christmas cactus, I get nothing but pollen sacs but no pollen comes out. How long does it take for the pollen sacs to develop completely. I cannot get pollen it*s all dry
It's rare to see easy to follow guides about how to pollinate, thanks for that!

Very interesting, Steph! I hope that you’ll share the entire process with us. Loved it!
That was interesting! Good luck with them! Happy growing!

Nice Hubby ❤
Will you do a follow up video when you get the Pods?

So interesting Stef! I hope my Christmas cactus gets as beautiful as yours! But then all your plants are amazing!!! 🙂
I am going to do that right now. My plant also has the orange flowers. I’m learning a lot from you, girlie. Thank you

I'd love to see an update, I'm about to embark on a similar journey
Thank you Stef, will try it out hope it will work.

Good idea!
@@StefHall Actually the flower will deteriorate and the petals fall off. Maybe mark the leaf just below?
This is so cool! I would love to see a follow up on the seed pod! Tfs!
Oh yes! I can't wait to do a follow up!

That's awesome! I'll have to go check that video out. I am subscribed to her channel but I must have missed that one!
Great video! I never seen a self pollinating video before. I wondered myself would a yellow & red bloom create blue or something? Please make sure you do a follow up video. How long does it take before they make fruit?
I will! I'm thinking it will take around 6 months maybe?
Great video 💕

I wonder if the Christmas cactus could mix with the Thanksgiving cactus.
I wondered that too! I didn't have flowers on the Christmas one to try it!
I’d luv to know too! I have Thanksgiving Cactus and a Christmas cactus.
Hopefully my dark pink one will bloom soon so I can cross it with my light pink one! The darker one’s buds are falling off because it was severely over watered in the grocery store.

If you put your yellow one intercooler room and not let it get any light after sunset it'll set more bloom

May have to try next year. The Stamen should be sticky when the pollen is rubbed on it. If they are dry, the time may have already passed.
Stef Hall So as soon as the flower fully opens the pollen is ready and the stigma is ready?
now you have to marry it
bunny fluffs HAHAHAHAHA!
Self pollinating means that you can pollinate the plant with its own pollen. If they are not self pollinating, they need another plant to pollinate.
correct
I don’t care what I do I can’t grow a Christmas cactus 🌵 😢
Have you tried ignoring one? I have a hard time with the Easter one.
