Comments (8)Thanks Maid :) I never slowed down on watering mine, and it didnt hurt it. Since I have gotten it I always water once a week. I also used MG right before it got buds and it didnt hurt it at all. I used the granulated that you put in water though. Since it didnt seem to have any neg effects the first time I just did it again yesterday. Another thing I did that I didnt know I wasnt supposed to, lol..was that I moved it around alot. Changed spots a few times, was turning it for equal light on all sides in front of the window. I didnt get any bud loss. The only prob I have had is that my cat keeps pulling off buds now as they form. Every day I see new buds, and the lil b****** pops em off. The ones he cant get to are still blooming nicely. He's even been tearing pieces of segments off..must not taste good cuz he just leaves them on the counter like the buds. So why in the world does he keep doing it? lol. dumb cat. It is very exciting isnt it? I think yoursd will be fine and bloom nicely. Waiting for those buds to get big enough and bloom was like torture for me, lol. Good luck, and post pix when it blooms!!

Comments (7)I have my Easter, Christmas and Thanksgicing cacti outside where they receive indirect morning sun some afternoon sun and then they are shaded in the later afternoon. I have a little nicro climate in the front L shape portion of my house and it is easy to cover and control the climate with lights and plastic when it gets below freexing. I water and fertilizw when I have time and they are all growing and one has buds as I type. It is a white Thanksgiving cacti with a beautiful golden throat. My others are happy and it appears my true Christmas cactus is budding. I do nothing special other than to leave them alone the majority of the time. I am enclosing a link that will assist you with cultivation, and differentiation between the three and other tips. I live in Orlando behind Sea World so that makes it the south west side. Hope this helps and I would love a cutting of yours inulover. Linda Here is a link that might be useful: Cacti...See MoreNeed outdoor planting ideas for Thanksgiving Cactus and Orchid Cactus
