Excellent tips! I think I've made almost all of the mistakes you mentioned this year... :) Moved it to a sunnier spot, re-potted it, and many more MISTAKES, ha. No wonder it didn't bloom this year. Thanks, great video!
Hello, I purchased a Thanksgiving Cactus to gift to a friend for Christmas. The beautiful blooms are all spent but there are many little buds. After watching your video I am not sure if I should still give it to her or wait another year. I would appreciate your option. Thank you. Kathy
Hi, I moved my Turncata (thanks giving cacti) to my south east to get the morning sun. I live on the north shore of Lake Superior where the seasons are short to and my indoor plants are important. thanks for the video.
After looking at mine, I think it’s a combo pot of Christmas and Thanksgiving. I just repotted it with cactus soil because parts were getting mushy on me. I did probably put it in too large of a pot… Will it flower for me still this year do you think? I’m going to move it to a drafty western window. It was in a South facing window.
My Christmas cactus is right now in my store room with no light not even a window,, once it starts to bud i will reintroduce it to normal lighting conditions and normal watering, am I doing something rong or is what I am doing good ? Just want to know as I have never got my “Christmascactus” (actually a thanksgiving cactus) to boom other then the year we got it. I also am from Saskatchewan only 2 hours from your city.
They're not meant to be kept in darkness 24 hours a day. If you were trying to "force" it to bloom, you'd alternate 12 hour periods of light and darkness.
my thanksgiving cactus created his first blooms after like 8 years when i got it.. from nowhere in february.. so i am watchin this to know for next season, i quess having it near radiator wasnt bright idea:D, from reading i also noticed that some people say that it needs longer nights, and even artificial light tend to stop it from blooming, any idea?
It all depends where you live. I live far north enough that i don't need to add artificial light. Basically, anyone I know who has a Christmas Cactus that doesn't bloom in real life is because they keep it somewhere warm, or not up against a window. If it's in the middle of a room it won't be happy.
Hello! Could you determine why mine are dropping all their buds? I have 3 in 3 different locations in my house and they produce small buds that dry out and fall off. None are in a window and my house is on the cooler side, I have been mindful ( most of the time) about not over or under watering. I bought the plants in fall of 2021. I haven't moved theor locations in the house since then. I'm in zone 3. I haven't fertilized. Thanks! Love your videos! Looking forward to summer 2022!
It probably doesn't need fertilizer, but it might not be cold enough. I find that the buds I get in March/April always seem to drop off because (I'm assuming) it's too warm or maybe too many daylight hours.
Thanks for all the Information. Your cactus looks gorgeous. I wanted to ask how often and how much should I water my plant which is about the same size as yours. I have kept it in my garage which gets pretty cold and dark too but no blooms yet. TIA
Thanks for clarifying the differences between the Thanksgiving and Christmas cactus but I really would wish you not use the term Christmas cactus when it's a Thanksgiving cactus. The reason 90% of the population calls it that is because people like yourself are terming it as Christmas cactus.

Lots of good info here! Love that geometric pot!

Very helpful information, thanks so much! Sorry for the rude comments by several others. I think you done a fine job on this video!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

It's full of buds for 4 weeks, that's it

It's December 3rd, should I be seeing buds? I think I have a Thanksgiving cactus and not a Christmas cactus tho.
Well this explains everything. Mine hasn’t bloomed for years (after a house move) and I’ve been doing basically everything wrong 😳.
That's actually a Christmas cactus. Thanksgiving cactus is a lot more pointy edged. Yours is the in between Easter and Thanksgiving.
Thank you. New subbie 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
liked bye drrchop fan 👍👋🐘
What soil do you use for your Christmas cactus?
Thank you for all your great information ❤

I only water mine once a week with 1/4 to 1/3 cup water if it feels really dry. If there's moisture in the soil, don't water it.
Thank you!
So helpful! Thank you
Turn the music off !!! Thank you.
My apologies, this was one of the first videos I edited with music, so I was still learning.
@@ShiftingRoots I liked having music, IMO!
Mute? Wttf?

You're welcome, and I understand.
Non capisco niente ❗‼️
