That is beautiful, Phil!

Thanks pal :-)

I went Thanksgiving cactus crazy the past few days.

No identification on these three. This one looks like magenta, from walmart.

My true Xmas cactus about to open really soon!!

I think I have 'New Year's' Cactus this year! We have had warm nights and just last week got into the low 60s overnight.

My yellow TC -

And my peach TC - which is getting heavy with buds -

And my red TC. It, too, has a lot of buds, albeit small ones!

A flower finally opened on my white TC from my local grocery store.

Everyone has some beautiful TC'S & CC'S.

After a little transplanting in spring ours turned out pretty well this year & tho they (3) have gone through their blooming cycle ' peaked on & around Thanksgiving. The white one was a Grocery Store Save from last year & the other 2 are about 20 years old (same mother plant).

That said I hope when the Wife gets back she can post some of the great pictures she got of the plants this year, Its a shame only 4 of us get to see them every year, & hope the houzz family will enjoy the as well.

"Ill be back"

Very pretty davers. Is the last one yellow or peach?

Some weeks ago I bought this one at a nursery. It was loaded with buds. White with a soft pink flush. Now I get to try to show something similar next year ;-).

Gdinie, that is really pretty!

Agreed! Very pretty.

My Christmas cactus opening very nicely :)

Very pretty, silent!

I'm very new to these, I just purchased a TG cactus yesterday, what are the rules with them, cool rm warm rm or hot rm..do they need high humidity, mine has no buds on it at all, how often should I water it..any help would be greatly appreciated

Cool room to get buds forming. Leave in cool room until buds start opening. Humidity isn't really a problem. Water when dry. I grow mine in orchid bark.

Akrrm I thought that plant had more of a White color Flowers (mostly White) also 'My wife God bless her Soul posted pics she had taken before they were at there "Fullest Bloom"..Good enough tho.

Like she said 'if I want them a Certain way, learn to post them yourself, off your Camera. LOL

If I had the patience to learn , life would be Sooo Much easier on this site & others.

I thank all for the "Likes".

I just put mine outside in the Summer, & leave them until est, late Oct Early Nov, So they get the Shorter Days & Cool nights .

Def, I Bring them in before the first Freeze . BTW ..I'm just North of Atlanta Georgia USA.....Best of luck

P.S. If rain & humidity is abundant esp, in Aug, September ; I will try to move them to a drier area. Year before last the largest plant got 'Root Rot' pretty bad & I had to dispose of over Half the Plant. As of now all is well.

Plantmasterm: like with all plants, the best thing is to get to know them. So here's a run down :) these cacti grow on trees in the mountains of Brazil (Rio De Janeiro, the water runs right off their hanging/dangling roots) so your planting medium should be exactly like Orchids (as they grow on trees too) So just put them in a clay pot of Orchid bark. Nothing less nothing more :) during the spring and summer place them outside and you can water every 3 or four days (unless it rains) preferably in part shade (mimic the trees leaves) they will grow really fast and can tolerate temps down to 33 degrees (I don't flirt with that though, as if it hits 32 they'll die) so I keep up with the weather and leave them out as long as it's 35 or higher (this sets buds immediately) bring in if below 35 just to be on the safe side (or during first frost/last frost) either than that, they take care of themselves. Don't fuss over them (or any plant) just get to know your plants and their origins.

It's well past thanksgiving, but Schlumbergera are now blooming very well! There are nearly 30 buds in this 4.5" pot. They cuttings were gifted to me in the summer by two of my coworkers. Nice flowery gift just in time for Christmas. =)

My first bloom of the year came on Christmas Day! Yea!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Hey Issac ! A little favor to ask, try to stay on topic.

That Photo Was From Early This Year.....

So When Will I See The 1st TeenyTiny Buds On Mine?
I Bought All Mine in Flower Last Year
Thanks

When the night temps get cooler and nights get longer.

Thank You
So Short Day Flowering Plants Like The Poinsettia.....

Moth orchids are the same way, cooler longer nights. Although Poinsettia flowers are insignificant of coarse.

Ninecrow, that's not actually a Thanksgiving cactus at all, most likely a Christmas cactus which is a completely different type...however, it could be an Easter cactus if it has short bristles at the leaf joints, can't see much detail really as the pic is so very dark. What do the flowers look like, are they one flattish ring of petals or two rings with one growing out of the middle of the others? Hard to describe really.

Oooh, good call! I forgot to re-look at the photo! Care is the same however for all 3 varieties.

Lookin Good ,Now that i'm learning to post pictures ill post the Thanks/Christmas Cactus when they bloom (late October - mid November ) usually.

I actually had to bring the largest one back inside cause we had so much rain , 'I could just Feel (root Rot) coming on.'.

Gd

This was about ten years ago in the Philippines.

Greenclaws
I Think You Are Right Because I Put a Label In The Easter Cactus and NOT The Thanksgiving....
Sorry Guys

Hi
Is it Too Late To Be Re-Potting My Thanksgiving As He's REALLY Root Bound?
Thanks

Waiting on some 'bloomage' hope to post around Thanksgiving when mine flower , usually in mid -late November.

Best Wishes to all.

I'm HOPING With This Cooler Weather Buds Will Start Forming As I REALLY Would LIKE To See My Orange One Flower Again Same With The Saved Red I'm Sure I Have Somewhere....
LOL

Ninecrow, hi there, just checked my TC's out and one out of three has some tiny buds just beginning to develop. It's the one shown in the hanging basket in the first post in this thread. It survives 365 in my g/h. I may treat it and the others to a warmer winter this year by moving them into the bathroom. It's colours nothing spectacular really, but it has sentimental value as it was a rescue from my mums house, so it's a keeper for that reason alone. I've said I'm not going to get any more plants, but there will soon be TC' s of every hue for £1 each in all the supermarkets and markets won't there? Just maybe........

Gill

Good Luck this Fall & Winter.

The Buds Are Defiantly There Now and I've Found Another That I HOPE is My Red...

Do you pinch the buds at any point during bloom? I just bought teo new ones and they are booming...

Here’s mine The buds are just now coming in, they’re a mix of red and white flowers. This is my first real bloom with it so I can’t wait to see. Will the buds fall off if I keep it outside?

Tehya, Most of my TG Cati have smaller bloom buds than yours show.

A little late blooming this year ,tho its 72 o with 50 o 'ish' lows . + We had our 1st freeze on the 29th & 30th of October. So they stayed in for a few days , put them back outside (for cool nights) today.

GL Everyone.

Here is one of my plants
