How to bloom christmas cactus 🌵 care tips and propagation

tips to help your holiday cactus bloom⁣💡
⁣
Did you know there’s a Thanksgiving cactus, a Christmas cactus, and an Easter cactus?⁣
⁣
You can tell the difference based on the leaf shape.⁣
⁣
Mine is technically a Thanksgiving cactus. I’ve had mine for about 5 years, but my blooms don’t start to open until December. So, I call it a Christmas cactus. ⁣
⁣
Regardless of the name, they all need complete darkness for 12 hours a day.⁣
⁣
So, don’t put them in a room with a lamp or near a window that has an outdoor nighttime light source.⁣
⁣
Don’t overwater. If you have success growing fiddle leaf figs, you are the perfect candidate for a holiday cactus. ⁣
⁣
Christmas cactus also like cool temps. So, find a room in your home with a chilly window that gets a ton of bright indirect light. ⁣
⁣
If you are looking to add one of these to your plant collection, Costco has some and they are a great size. ⁣

These make a great hostess gift too.
