@JuniperJump Ohhh gorgeous! I never quite get that kind of display but one of mine is coming along nicely.
@Judeet99 One thing I learned last year is when you see the the very first flower buds is to turn the cactus every two or three days for optimal flowering. I remembered to do it this year and it’s been the best show I’ve ever had, just a bit early for whatever reason 🤷🏻♀️
@Judeet99 I’ve just been on RHS website where a Thanksgiving Cactus isn’t mentioned so now I’m not sure but I can’t find anything about turning them, maybe I dreamt it lol 😂
@JuniperJump We do call them Christmas cactus over here in the UK....but mine often start flowering well before. I have two that are specific Easter cactuses which flower around that time of year.
@JuniperJump Oh, interesting, as I'd always been told that if you did that it'd make the buds drop off! I am feeding mine now and next year they're going to have to be potted up into slightly bigger pots.
