Thanksgiving Cactus Forming Blooms Again?

Purple, the window is a south window and I have left the plant (and many others) in it year round. I have never had anything burn. The sun does not shine directly on them in the summer. I think that angle of the sun (it is almost directly above in the summer) makes it possible to leave them there. I am fortunate to have four large southern windows. I also have three small south windows downstairs. My Christmas Cactus is in one of them and does very well. Pirate_girl, I don't use anything special. I have fertilized my most of my plants with the same thing, Miracle Grow Tomato Fertilizer (half strength). I read somewhere years ago when I got an amaryllis that it would work for it and I had it available since I use it in the garden.

Thanksgiving Cactus In Bloom Yet Again

@TheGumbieCat: I only water every three weeks regardless, and they're all in a south facing window and have thrived there for a long time. To the rest of you, you have beautiful plants. Remember, they key to growing these is in all bark; or mostly bark compound. They don't like their roots wet, as they do grow on tress and let their roots hang down.

Thanksgiving cactus: post-blooming watering puzzle

I'll second that advice. We got two as a gift about ten years ago. We water them like other houseplants when they're dry or we remember to -- nothing special post-bloom. They reliably bloom 2x a year -- late November and late December. (Thanksgiving cactus?)
