Christmas Cactus

[Cissy63]

I enjoy my Christmas Cactus plants. And I look forward each year to their blooms.  This year they are blooming well ahead of time.  

As you can see, there are multiple blooms still waiting to open.  

I will take other pictures as the flowers bloom.

Does anyone else share my love for this plant?? If so, please share your pictures with our community!!!

@ather, repotting it seems to be the way to go. Would love to see it flourish this year!

[ather]

@itsfi  Mine are blooming now! I’ll try and get some pictures of them and share on here 😀

[Cissy63]

Wow it has lots of blossoms @itsfi  But it looks like it doesn’t have space to spread out.  It is growing upwards.  Maybe a larger pot will help it grow outwards vs upwards.

@Cissy63, adding that to my post-thanksgiving "to do" list. 

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Ok and please let us know how it goes!

This is my Christmas cactus in full bloom!

That is gorgeous @ather! I love the softness of the petal shade. 😍

[ather]

@itsfi  Thank you! I use to have a bright pink one. I love that this one is so unique! I also have a white and pink one! 

[itsfi]

I love the color on this one @ather! Makes me think of a tropical vacation - how can that be a bad thing?!! Also makes me think of a sunset. Also not a bad thing. 😊 

2 Christmas cacti?? 😍 Wow, you have a green thumb! That’s awesome. 

[ather]

@itsfi  I agree. It’s more of a plant my one cat doesn’t eat! 

[itsfi]

@Cissy63, look what I spotted while I was out and about today?

@itsfi  This is such a pretty one! The colour is so vibrant! 

[caitbird]

@itsfi  ooh, I love that vibrant pink!

[itsfi]

It was a huge pot @caitbird! I debated whether to get it but my hands were full of groceries and I would not have been able to carry everything. But now it makes me wonder if Trader Joe's may have Christmas cactus available. That's where I picked up mine last year (it's no longer with us - ack!) May have to make a trip to TJ's soon.

The Christmas cactus at work seems very happy in its spot, because it is blooming again:

@caitbird  This is so pretty! 

[caitbird]

@ather  thank you! It definitely made me happy to see!

[itsfi]

The blooms on your Christmas cactus are gorgeous @caitbird. So artistic.

[caitbird]

@itsfi  I can't really take credit because it isn't my plant (it lives at work), but it definitely made me happy to see the pretty blooms!

[itsfi]

I think you can take credit for it @caitbird, at least partial credit! 😉 It's at your workplace. It's such a pretty bloom!

[Cissy63]

@caitbird  Oh such a beautiful color!  Lovely blooms
